FEMA Exposed. Katrina Victims Neglected. (part 1)

April 17, 2007.
As many as 6 million prepared meals stockpiled near potential victims of the 2006 hurricane season spoiled in the Gulf Coast heat last summer when the Federal Emergency Management Agency ran short of warehouse and refrigeration space, according to agency officials.

In all, hundreds of truckloads of food worth more than $40 million are being thrown away or scavenged for unspoiled contents to be offered to domestic hunger-relief groups, FEMA officials said. Most of the meals were commercial versions of the military's Meals Ready to Eat, which were ruined despite being engineered to withstand the demands of desert and jungle climates.

"Bush Don't Care About Black People"

Exhibit A is the response to Hurricanes Charley and Frances, which in 2004 hit Florida - a state filled with rich Republicans - with far less force. Bush personally delivered relief checks and visited victims four times in six weeks.

The head of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (Fema), Michael Brown, was made a scapegoat by the government despite being praised by local officials. Furthermore, as Dyson points out, were it not for Bush's chronic cronyism Brown would never have been appointed. In fact, five of the top eight Fema officials had little or no experience in disaster management.

Worse than their sluggish reaction, however, was the fact that Fema actually refused help. The USS Bataan had 600 hospital beds, plus food and water that was never used. None of its 1,200 sailors present on the Gulf Coast was permitted to go ashore.

@pafjrfour How the fuck can she get a job if she's HOMELESS

Shes sayin that she didnt recieve any of the items they claim to have provided for the victims of Hurricane Katrina.

[suntanbeautiful]

First you flood them.You separate children from their families. You send them to a dome  leaving them in filthy conditions. Then you give them contaminated housing that caused serious health problems.. You keep needed supplies from them. You give the supplies away to people who are not in need.Then you say you thought the crises was over? And now many are homeless living under bridges and where ever else they can find to lay their head. You may as well say "We don't care what happens."

[TheExeter]

Well when your govt. kills its citizens by the thousands, any natural disaster is just simply free help for FEMA.

[Rita1972]

I wonder and don't doubt that tons of those items ended up on ebay. What a shame!
