What aggravates me is that FEMA stands for Federal EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT AGENCY - backwards typist

As someone said the other day, they're only human. Well, the State EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT AGENCIES didn't close their offices when bad weather was coming. In fact, they stepped up their personnel so they could stay on top of everything.
People, not only in Staten Island but on Long Island, are starting to complain. FEMA is just not doing their job very well.
Someone last week complained about donations to the Red Cross should just be in money. Well, they need more than that and in my area, a bunch of tractor trailers are filling up with blankets, baby diapers, toiletries, water, clothing, and food. Those are all things needed that aren't being supplied to everyone because the Red Cross isn't able to supply all of them. BTW, the volunteers taking these donations got permission from the Red Cross and public officials before doing this.
Our area has a lot of NJ/NY people who have moved here over the past few years, and they know the ropes.
FEMA and the Red Cross are doing pretty well under...sm - updater

the circumstances. The main problem right now is POWER and the COLD which only the power companies have control over. NOTHING works without power. The LIPA is state owned and Cuomo is flaming mad. Christie is on a rampage. FYI, rich and poor alike have been tragically affected by this storm. Gas problems are starting to ease in NJ and NY is adopting the same rationing program. Fortunately my gang is safe in Brooklyn and never lost power. They are hosting several couples, family and friends from the NJ shore, who have minor damage but no power. Many families in their area are doing the same. Gas for their cars has been almost impossible to obtain, long lines and not enough gas in the tank to wait for a long time. Oy vey!

That's Really Nice Of FEMA.Nov 08, 2012They closed because of the Nor'easter. A sign on their office door stated they were "closed due to bad weather."
Some won't reopen until tomorrow.

Some Notion Of What FEMA's Up To In A DozenOct 31, 2012This is part of a FEMA bulletin. FEMA's job is COORDINATION of national disaster relief resources. If you scan down, I underlined some of the national resources coordinated by FEMA when needed. Note that governors have the option--in most cases--of requesting FEMA assistance or not (things like nuclear plant emergencies and terrorism examples of obvious exceptions).
At bottom is a link to a NY Times article on what FEMA's been doing in NY/NJ.

Not Romney But OBAMA Proposes Cuts To FEMA!!Oct 30, 2012See pages 94-96 of Obama's sequestration budget plan.
Yes, Romney believes that FEMA has been over-funded for the results that we've actually gotten from the agency (which are perfectly miserable) - but the difference is, Romney plans to redistribute the money to the states and it isn't therefore a cut to emergency funding.
Under Obama's plan, the money would be used to fund OBAMACARE.

Romney Thinks FEMA Should Be Disbanded, Gov. Christie No Longer Agrees. SmOct 30, 2012I'm glad FEMA is here in the Northeast. We have a lot of damage here and a lot of people without power. Funny how Gov. Christie changed his opinion about FEMA being disbanded after New Jersey got hit with Hurricaine Sandy/Superstorm. Well, not really funny. He apparently saw the light. So, if you live in New England or the Eastern seaboard are you still voting for Romney? You think your state can handle a major disaster by itself? Think again. ...
Obama Pledges Expedited FEMA Assistance To Texas After FloodsMay 26, 2015Good for you to rise above it all and do the right thing, President Obama - because I daresay you'd get the same kind of help from Texas, if the situation were reversed ;)
And yet Texans just keep kicking Obama and the Feds in the teeth every chance they get, as evidenced by both the type of Texans mentioned in the post below mine, as well as some of the comments underneath it - talk about ungrateful "takers."
This is TWICE now the Feds have had Texas' back within the last mont ...
GOP: Closed For Repairs.May 28, 2013Former Senate Majority Leader Bob Dole (R-KS) told Fox News Sunday this week that the Senate Republicans are abusing the filibuster and that he doubts he, Richard Nixon, or Ronald Reagan could make it in today’s Republican Party.
Asked his thoughts on the modern GOP, Dole — a former Republican national chairman, the 1976 GOP vice presidential pick, and the 1996 Republican presidential nominee — suggested, to host Chris Wallace, that the party lacks any positive ideas ...

4. The keys to an effective foreign policy are exactly what Romney identified: a strong economy and a strong military.

Jobs Council Closed - Work Is Done?Jan 31, 2013By JOSH LEDERMAN, Associated Press

That's the only thing that will save the sane part of the Republican party. Otherwise the whole party is doomed to be a party of ...

Mitts Behind Closed Doors Hot Mic Moment: Slash DOEducation, Eliminate HUDApr 16, 2012As if standing idly by while the housing market crashes isn't enough, Romney tells big-buck donors if he had his way, he would eliminate HUD (Romney Sr was Secretary of HUD) all together, another apparent reversal of his previous multi-family/anti-sprawl policies while serving as governor of Massachusetts. Out of sight, out of mind.
Maybe he could fund bare-bones cuts to the Department of Education by moving all recipients of students loans to labor camps after graduation.& ...

DHS Did Something Right Today.Mar 03, 2015Supposedly, DHS shut down 20 of these birth tourist homes, all in California.
