FEMA had 20 Billion runs out of funding in the middle of hurricane season

FEMA runs out of funding in the middle of hurricane season

Congress granted FEMA nearly $20 billion in funding for 2024

www.nbcnewyork.com...

The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has run out of disaster relief funding for the second year in a row before the peak of the Atlantic hurricane season has even arrived.

The agency, which is funded by Congress, uses the disaster relief fund to aid state and local governments in preparing and recovering from natural disasters including earthquakes, tornadoes, wildfires and hurricanes.

The DRF also provides financial assistance for the Individuals and Households Program which helps eligible disaster survivors with funding for temporary housing and other disaster-related expenses.

The United States has already faced 19 climate disasters this year with losses exceeding $1 billion each, according to FEMA.

Time to divert funds from superfluous absurdities like the Ukraine and bolster up the emergency agency 👍

Maybe if they didn't focus on DEI training so much, they would have the money still.

Can’t we just borrow some from our buddy Zelenskyy? We’ve sent $175 billion to them since 2022. Meh, we didn’t need it, did we?

How about we stay on topic. If you want to talk about DEI start another thread.


If you would of actually have read the OP you'd see that.

So yeah. The answer is that the money allocated has already been spent. And nothing to do with DEI.

How about we not give any money to people who build houses on stilts over water? Or on the side of a cliff? Why are we even allowing them to build there in the first place?

This screams of more corruption and kick backs. I bet if you had a list of big doners and a list of family/friends of politicians...and you cross checked it with a list of FEMA contracts you'd see whats actually happening.

Political mass manipulation for revenge politics. Very dangerous !!!!

Wake up People. Time to smell the stale D.C. coffee. ☠️☠️

These problems are NOT accidental. It's all planned. Believe THAT

Mental case psychopaths and sociopaths are in control

So you're blaming DEI hires for natural disasters that that used up the $20B dollars already allocated for FEMA this year?

Is that what you're saying?

It'd be cheaper if they had permanent camps set up across the country to send people to.

Sorry, but I am on topic.

Money is being spent of frivolous training, and programs.

And the money that is spent on relief, ends up going back to the government, bc everything has to be rebuilt to their standards...which are over the top. Look at all the red tape they have to deal with.

And hey, if they are lucky, they will get the same one time $700 payment....like maui.

Stop making BS excuses..at least man up and admit you are a Kamala Kommie who wants to destroy Americans. A racist who hates white people.

Call for an audit of FEMA and see if any monies are being diverted to special BS projects. Call for an audit NOW 😬

What climate disasters were they giving funds to?

There was only 1 hurricane before this one and it was only a 3. Maui was 2023, maybe they got allocated funds... But the people haven't seen sh!t.

I’ll let all the info online speak for itself. They need to stop with the DEI crap and concentrate on the one job at hand which in this case is disaster relief for EVERYONE. Have you stopped to think that the head of FEMA a DEI hire was maybe not the most qualified person for the job and was selected for aesthetics?
