FEMA told us we have to find our own place to live. They will not help us find temporary housing. So far I have reached out to Catholic Charities, my Republican councilman and my Republican Congressman. I am sick to my stomach over this, yet I consider myself lucky because I only lost “things” and not my loved ones or my pets.
Lottie - this is unbelievable! I am here in NJ with no gas but I have an apartment still standing, with heat. From what I can see, there isn’t much of Staten Island that is still standing... How about the Salvation Army? Any local churches still around? Is there a shelter open where you can get a shower?
It's not FEMA's job to "help" -- they "manage" disasters (check out their name) -- to get the most political mileage out of them...
At the fires here in Texas, they reportedly turned away fire equipment with trained crews -- so they could bring in their own identical equipment and say, "Look what FEMA did!"
At least one local sheriff threatened to lock up the whole lot of them if they didn't get the h3!! out of the way...
