If you are smart, you don't take their money, but a lot of people don't have options. FEMA excludes a lot of people, so anyone with insurance is out. You can file later with them if you are never paid by your carrier but they won't pay you the money and then try to collect it from the carrier.

When I said no one has seen them I meant FEMA, not the funds. These folks haven't had Internet or have had extremely limited Internet access on over a week and they're not online trying to register for and collect FEMA money. If they're able to get online it's to email family and friends. 

To my knowledge FEMA still have not reached the locations where my friends live and the last update I got was yesterday. They don't even want FEMA around. The coordinated efforts of volunteers has brought them everything they need. They still don't have utilities but they're thankful for the hot meals, showers and laundry facilities set up so they can eat, shower and have clean clothes and bedsheets until utilities are restored.

Thanks for that. I'd also seen reports of this but don't have any direct knowledge. I have 3rd hand stuff and lots of online posts seeing it but no way to verify.

NG was supposedly without orders from Governor for a while, so they couldn't leave the hotel.
Army was sitting there on-call waiting for deployment for WW3, so they were refused leave and weren't assigned until today to assist.
Didn't hear anything about getting the Army Corp of Engineers rebuilding roads asap.
Military food/medicine drops should have been happening.
Military should have been dropping teams in each area with radios to do quick triage assessments and figure out how many people were where and then getting them supplies.

FEMA is full of DEI hires now and not focused on Americans. They need to be purged like much of the government.
