FEMA visits a home an average of 7x after a disaster


I don't know where you got this bullshite from... Maybe they are counting the 3 passes from a debris truck and 2 passes from search and rescue, etc but actual FEMA employees are not visiting a home, ANY home 7 times after a disaster...

Do you believe in home insurance? Fire is a covered peril in insurance. Or should the government be responsible for rebuilding and making whole for everyone that didn't have sufficient insurance?

My take is the majority of homes destroyed in Lahaina should use private home insurance to rebuild. That's what it's for.

Correct. Not actual FEMA employees but FEMA employees and contractors/local officials paid/reimbursed by FEMA.

Search & Rescue, High Water Mark, Individual Assistance multiple times, Debris Cleanup, Substantial Damage, etc.

Yeah, that would be the local governments that are in charge of the response... FEMA is nothing but a checkbook for reimbursement so stop acting like they add anything to a disaster response outside of getting in the way...

Our govt giving money to Africans has zero to do with any people in this country.

It doesnt make us "good people."

What makes us "good people" is providing help or charity outside the boundaries of government and tax dollars.

Reminders:
- until this year Angola was a member of OPEC
- the MPLA is a communist regime/government
- the former president, Jose DosSantos is the largest landowner in Brazil
- Their oil industry is nationalized, and it's director was DosSantos' daughter, Isabel until he was out of power
- She was also a large stakeholder in their nationalized telecom, Unitel
- She transferred her money to Portugal and is now trying to get it to Russia
- She is worth 2 billion, estimated
- She and the rulers of Angola are now barred from entering the US
- When UNITA's former leader Savimbi's body was finally released from communist control for burial She paid a gang to try and steal the body to burn it.

This is who they are giving our money to. This is not actually disaster aid, this is backhanded reparations with a kickback scheme on the side as a bye-bye gift. Part of Hunter's involvement in Burisma/Mayor of Moscow was to help hide Isabel's money.

Oh, and it smells like shite where Biden is standing. The whole Luanda port/near-lagoon does.

Locally Executed, State Managed, Federally Supported Recovery

FEMA is the checkbook, correct. And the checkbook is much greater than $700 for NC and Lahaina. That was the point. The checkbook continues to grow as well.

FEMA is also the primary insurer for flood, which often is relevant.

Yeah and as part of their creative accounting, they also count every donation of time, materials and supplies as if it is provided by FEMA...

Except, it’s only a $750 LOAN if you have any insurance. As in, you have to pay it back later.

$700 to fire victims "lie"

"To access FEMA's Critical Needs Assistance of $700, individuals can expedite their application process by utilizing DisasterAssistance.gov as the primary application portal. Alternatively, applicants may choose to apply through the FEMA mobile app or by contacting the FEMA Helpline at 800-621-3362."

But was the $700 payment to Maui fire victims a lie tho?

Not true again. It's not a $700 loan. It's a new program instituted in the past decade or so to get $700 cash to people immediately that live in disaster areas.

You're thinking of the SBA Disaster Loans that have Duplication of Benefits (DoB) issues. That was fixed in 2018 but had a 5 year sunset. I'm unsure where it stands now.

It's more like message boards and twitter/x posts lied about the $700 and people continue to spread the lies.
