Ok people here it is... FEMA is a bunch of fat cat bureaucrats that hire college kid temps when things get hot... and these are the people that go out and hand out MRE’s and make promises and deliver SBA loan applications. These higher ups will show up with a clip board and concerned looks... if you depend on FEMA... you are going to die. I KNOW! No one with a lick of sense depended on the government after Katrina. The Military is an entirely different story... GOD bless every one of our Military men and women... they were fantastic.

We had a flood in our area last year.
Now I could be wrong of course - but I don’t recall FEMA being involved WHATSOEVER in that first wave of relief (water, food, shelter,clearing roads)

From what I recall....FEMA doesn’t bother with that - AT ALL.

When their people first came in - they began the process of surveying the area - taking photos of damage- setting up offices to start the long term relief paperwork - and issuing psa’s informing flood victims how to begin their recovery process.

The national guard was here first - they were the very first group to show up in our small town to start feeding people and clearing roads.
