FEMA failed to answer nearly half of the calls for assistance, aid it received during Hurricanes Helene and Milton: report

The Federal Emergency Management Agency failed to answer nearly half of the calls for aid and assistance it recently received during Hurricanes Helene and Milton, a report released this week shows.

During a recent week, FEMA’s call centers were so overwhelmed, almost half of all callers never connected with a federal working, according to data released this week.

And it took federal agents on average more than an hour to actually pick up those calls that were answered.

The damning report comes as the Harris-Biden administration has been slammed by conservatives for its response to disaster relief after Hurricanes Helene and Milton slammed into Florida, North Carolina and other southern states.

One man seeking help after his North Carolina home was flooded called FEMA and got a recording that said he was 675th in line.

On Wednesday, FEMA reported sending $1.2 billion in relief to hurricane survivors in the six most damaged states.

Oh, those hard-working government employees. Hardly working I’d say.

There should have been mentions that many were VISITORS from the SOUTHERN Nations that needed help.

During the interview with Biden at some airport, I saw he say they would get no help from FEMA and it was “pre-planned”. Way to go, Mr. President. Then we find out FEMA was broke.

FEMA had one job and they failed miserably. The fat cats sat around all year on their lazy butts and showered entitlements on illegal criminal immigrants but couldn’t get off their butts for a week to show and and then do nothing.

FEMA has been poisoned by DEI. Helping disaster victims is at the bottom of their list.

They were probably too busy confiscating generators to respond.
