That's really nice of FEMA.

They 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.

it's an office, for goodness sake! - schools and banks are closed too

They are not a school or bank - You don't get it do you?

They are supposed to be helping those people - backwards typist

There are many, many people complaining that they haven't seen any FEMA workers and others who say they get the brush off when they do come around.
Yet Bloomberg and Cuomo are praising them up and down.
Sorry, don't agree they should be closed.
Ahem. Has it occurred to you that FEMA folks commute - and may not necessarily be
[ In Reply To ..]conveniently housed right around the corner from the office site? In fact, with housing conditions being what they are, it's logical to assume that many of them are quite far from their work sites. Icy road conditions can be fatal, after all, especially main thoroughfares that are elevated, often high above ground level where slip-and-slide and hydroplaning effect is a near dead-cinch certainty. What are you suggesting; that they should they risk their lives and add to the death toll? Would that be politically correct enough to suit you?
BTW, just because the office is closed, doesn't mean they can't temporarily operate in a restricted capacity. Ever hear of call-forward, email, Twitter or facebook? Thinking things through before posting would probably help cut those dislike tallies in half.

Has it occurred to you - that FEMA offices are staffed by human beings
[ In Reply To ..]Who need to stay out of harm's way, too? Unlike corporations, they really ARE people, and if conditions are hazardous they deserve the same protection as any other place of business.

Some Notion Of What FEMA's Up To In A DozenOct 31, 2012
This 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. From FEMA: "Today, the President au ...

Not Romney But OBAMA Proposes Cuts To FEMA!!Oct 30, 2012
See 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. Got knowledge? ...
Romney Thinks FEMA Should Be Disbanded, Gov. Christie No Longer Agrees. SmOct 30, 2012
I'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, 2015
Good 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 ...

But for over 10 years I've been without insurance, keeping my fingers crossed I di ...
