We are close too the FEMA people here. They have told me, they don't wear the FEMA jackets becuase people verbally abuse them or attack them.
DAMN THESE PEOPLE THAT DO THIS. If anyone is given a home for free and complains? KICK THEM OUT. The ungrateful idiots. I've had no problems with FEMA, NONE.
It is true that FEMA employees often refrain from wearing FEMA clothing or "gear" in parts of Louisiana & Mississippi.
Harrassment and violence against FEMA personnel is an unfortunate but real concern.
P.S. I serve in an Emergency Housing Unit and we are all very proud that we can help people put a decent roof over their heads until they get back to a normal life. Take care and sincere best wishes and regards to you and your family.
