Hear that? "pre-positioned" staff into the area.
Maybe we will see FEMA work the way it is supposed to.

(45,454 posts)preparing the FEMA camps to force gay marriages upon a red state (that Obama won in 2008) after comin to git yer guns. is the tea party interpretation.
Everyone knows this "hurricane" is just a distraction from Benghazi. Obama is clearly staging false flag hurricanes to support his myth of global warming.

See it's all a myth. "Hurricane Arthur" uh huh. I haven't seen it. Have you?
Obama gives the EVACUATE order over the Governor's head. Everyone leaves. Plenty of empty houses. In come the alien children in FEMA trucks.
So simple. People here in Richmond will be pissed but hey the landlords will get over paid, the grocery stores with all their Latvian workers will sell everything, and I will have waaaay less beach week sunset shots from my FB friends.
I'm half Latvian! Which office do I proceed to for my check?
You are going to need to call Mike in payroll.
That was based on an thing near Corona about 15 years. Me and a friend were in a Food Lion near where the road ends and I commented that the guys working their weren't American (build, clothes, haircuts) clearly Eastern European. I asked one of the young guys working there and he said the whole store was recruited from Latvia.

I've noticed it, but never thought to ask. I figured those exchange students (or whatever) where probably having the summer of a lifetime out there. Yeah, now that I think of it, I'm a bit jealous.

(45,319 posts)At that time I knew some FEMA employees who left the agency. When Katrina was coming, even I knew what a fuck up it was going to be when the storm was still at sea. Bush had intentionally destroyed that agency.

(60,010 posts)When a hurricane left me houseless, a FEMA rep. showed up 3 days later and was almost desperate to help me.
I finally let him give me a check for a small downpayment on a house.
total amount was not much, this was back in 95 before housing prices went up.
But I was impressed at how hard the FEMA folks were working in our area.
