FEMA turned down our help- update

[lizlib]

FEMA contacted the corp I work for wanting people to take claims for them over the weekend via the phone. They contacted us last night because the workload was too much.

They have now called and said unless 500 or more people 'volunteer' they can't use us. Since we didn't have 500 people volunteer they have informed us that 'our services won't be needed'. Our facility has over 500 but not everyone volunteered but there was hundreds of people who did volunteer.

Lets see how long this claims process takes them. THey are insane!

1. This is the epitome of what is wrong with the whole organization

If it doesn't fit within the paperwork criteria, they don't use it, they don't use anything.

2. not to mention

this organization is associated with the aarp which has been less than supportive of the current admin.

3. Ahhh, makes even more sense, they can now say they tried

after setting up criteria to ensure they would fail. Geez.
