Just so the world knows, many of the employees working at FEMA DRCs
here on the coast are victims just like you, and we can’t even get our
money. or trailers. or anything else. The cycle is never ending. So
please know, that we know where you are coming from. Many of our homes are nothing more than rubble on slabs, but we are trying our best to help you while hoping FEMA can help us too beyond just signing a payroll check.
Keep your heads up. It looks dismal now, but one day you will look
back on these hard times and wonder how you made it through. You’ll be
wiser and stronger.
Good luck.

Although FEMA has been lacking, I do appreciate the hard work that you guys have been doing. I’m sorry that you have to receive so much flak from people, despite your hard work.

Good luck???….maybe we should call Bush tell him we have weapons of mass destruction.Since he could not find Mississippi or New Orleans for one week he may believe this slight twisting of the facts…show him a pic of the Mississippi Gulf Coast as proof…then he would send in the national guard…clean the mess up …fix my home “with insignificant damage”….(I can only find my front steps)…and wait for my new home to be built…..Yes Virginia there is a Santa Clause…..Yet I quit believing in FEMA and Santa long ago…cj

I’m sorry you lost home but I am not giving up hope for you and the hundreds of thousands of people on the coast in your situation right now. Again, good luck to all.

FEMA helped me when I was not able to return home. But I had to return LONG before FEMA was
able to help me with housing or lose the job I
have been working for 18 yrs. I am still waiting for help. Each time I contacted FEMA either online or in person or on the phone, I was given information that didnt hold true. Each time I as told that the previous person gave me the incorrect information or that I needed to have a case worker or inspector or somebody else had to come see where I was living or that I didnt need anyone to visit me and that they would do a “fly-by” with infrared. What’s that?!? Now they say they will get me a trailor but I have to go thru yet another inspection of some sort and “Lord knows when they will get to me”. This was told to me today in almost those very same words.
My health has suffered alot thru all this due to
my stress filled and unhealthy living conditions,
and inability to find proper health care. My doctors all left.
I cant say you guys are doing a great job. I work with the public and I see homeless people from New Orleans, Jefferson, and St. Bernard everyday. Their situations are worse than mine.
The only relief or therapy we get is to share our misery with each other. CAn’t you guys do
a little better?
