FEMA did great under Clinton and competent leadership.  It is only when it became nothing but a slush fund for no bid contracts to Bush cronies did the thing fall apart.

if you are talking about the geological subject, them im thinking its a ticking time bomb that will errupt into something catastrophic one day. it could be far far into the future but we really need to consider the potential damage. At the same time it will be forming new land (though that takes a while) and the plates will probably start causing more and more serious earthquakes in places that have never felt them before, therefore noone will really no what to do.. in short, were all doomed. Seriously, i hope not, but its kinda like when people build condos on the beach, ur taking an awfully big risk of natures fury to take it out like a toothpick. but theres not much anyone can do other than advise against it if they see potential activity

katrina support, huh. i was in hancock county, ms. when it hit. i have to say that if it were not for the private sector, things would have been alot worse than they were. the first morning after, there was no law, there was no government. it was the second day after the storm when we first saw the busses and trucks loaded down with water and supplies. not one the the supply trucks we saw in the first days were government. now it's 4 months later and there are still people living in tents. my personal experience with fema has been a complete joke. i don't want to take anything away from the people who drove hours on end to deliver the needed supplies or the thousands of people who donated their time and money to help people pick up the pieces of their shattered lives. but i am damn mad at my government. i have had to relocate to another state. the only assistance my family has gotten was the initial $2000 check from fema. past that we have been made to feel like charity cases. we are not begging. these are our tax dollars. since i have been in nc, i have paid in more taxes than i recieved from fema since this whole nightmare began. when i got to nc, so i didn't have to sleep on someones floor, i got a job to provide for my family and because i got that job, was told that i didn't qualify for any public assistance. so no, i don't consider it support, no, it wasn't soon enough, racial bias, i'm white. thanks for letting me vent. and by the way, have any of you asked yourself where all the money you gave went?........

It will end up in complete disaster.  Once again for all the talk the UN and other countries wont do a thing to stop disaster in Africa.  Bottom line is all of the people with power (ie Western Europe, America, Japan, and a few others) dont care about people unless they are in their backyard.

What's the Worst That Could Happen?

There is no assurance that New Orleans will be hit by another hurricane, just as there is no assurance they won't be.  While I'm not a psychic, from previous years and studies of hurricanes, it's very unlikely that another hurricane will hit them this year and even more unlikely that a large hurricane will hit.\n\nMany younger adults, mostly people in their twenties, are taking advantage of the large amount of homes available for sale.  While the homes need much repair, a recent college graduate who was looking at a small house in another large city can afford to buy a big house in New Orleans and then renovate it for the same price.  While home insurance is expensive in the city, the price of the home, repair, and insurance still doesn't meet what you'd pay somewhere like California.\n\nThere's also the fact that many people don't have a choice to live somewhere else.  While many people have moved out of the city, most of the people that were displaced by the storm are extremely poor.  They didn't own their homes, many didn't have insurance, and Fema has drastically cut the amount of aid they are giving to people.  However, many of the cities they have been living with are also cutting off aid and so they are forced to return to their broken homes, the only thing they own, and attempt to rebuild (they certainly can't sell their homes in the state in which they are in). \n\nFinally, New Orleans is still a major shipping and oil port and people are needed to work the jobs to get things on and off ships.  My mother's oil company has actually offered large amounts of money and incentives to get people from her KY office to move down there and work.  Hope this helps explain things.

For information on making an application, or checking on the status of an existing application, go to http://www.fema.gov/ . \n\nCongress and the White House may be battling over the future of this agency, but the employees of FEMA are still hard at work on processing claims.\n\nI hope this helps some.

Ummm FEMA?\n\nRepublican?\n\nSomeone needs to do a little more RESEARCH.\n\nFEMA... FEDERAL, is a DEMOCRATIC concept.\n\nIt's always a bad Idea to RESPOND and LEGISLATE from WASHINGTON.  It's also, in my opinion really stupid... to have people BUY PROPERTY in a FLOOD PLANE, and expect ME and the rest of the country, who has chosen PRUDENTLY, to pay for them being STUPID... or at least, not doing their research.\n\nAh but RESEARCH... there's that word again!

Bush had nothing to do with it. FEMA has its own regulations for declaring emergencies and they determined that the damage was not severe enough to warrant federal aid. The state should be able to handle it.

Ha Ha Ha they are collecting money back from Hurricane relief victims, over 100,000 letters were sent out from FEMA, recently REPORTED BY: The New York Times today. There were only supposed to be 100,000 displaced people from the hurricane that was Reported by the Republicans media, in the first place. So what does that mean? 100%, They are going to charge them fines and interest on the relief money. This isn't going to get alot of votes for the Republican party I wouldn't think.

Realistically, humanity will be dead. Sad, but true.\n\nSooner or later a couple of madmen with nukes will bomb everything, and everyone that moves.

I don't have an article, but I was listening to NPR last night, and the commentator was saying the evacuation was really bungled due to an organization and communication problem. No one took charge and said, hey I'm running the show, get 2000 buses and send them down, because no one felt they were in charge. FEMA, State & local police, National Guard, all were not sure what the other guys were doing and so waited for overall direction, which never really came.
