Private citizens and other organizations have been doing fantastic work when it comes to bringing aid to victims of the incredible amount of damage from Hurricane Helene, but the federal government seems to be having another Katrina moment. Yesterday President Biden said people in the affected areas are "very happy" about the federal government's response (or lack thereof), but as usual reality begs to differ with this administration's rhetoric.
For people applying to FEMA for disaster assistance, the agency put out this reminder along with a short video of what to expect:
FEMA (@fema) ~ After applying for disaster assistance, one of our inspectors may contact you within 10 days to schedule an inspection at the damaged address.
Be sure to have your application number available!
Here is what to expect during the process ⤵️

FEMA doesn't address the elephant in the room - how are you supposed to apply if you have no electricity, no Internet service, no computer, and/or no house?
A FEMA inspector may call you within 10 days after you apply.
Inspectors will observe social distancing guidelines.
You need to provide the inspector with a photo ID.
You will receive a letter or an e-mail explaining FEMA's decision. But, if you have no house and the roads are gone, how is the USPS going to deliver the letter, and if you have no electricity, no Internet service, and no computer, how are you going to receive the e-mail?
Ten days is considered quite speedy in Big Government Bureaucrat circles, especially since a lot of FEMA's budget has already been spent on illegal aliens.
Also if you watch the FEMA video, the first thing listed on the "what the inspectors will do" part says "observe social distancing guidelines." These people are beyond parody. Also what year is this?
John D Yoder (@ReYoder71) ~ I'm guessing that social distancing guidelines are the last thing on these people's minds.
Peachy Keenan (@KeenanPeachy) ~ In order for FEMA to help you, you will need electricity, cell service, and a computer. Then we will email you in 2 weeks with our decision.
If those things got washed away along with your home, please go to Mexico and enter the United States illegally and you will be helped immediately.
Pretty much. This administration has earned every ounce of skepticism and derision that's being thrown their way over this tragedy.
Patrick Henry,The2nd (@patrickhenry2nd) ~ Did the illegal immigrants have to do this?
Illegals most likely got same day service and payouts.
...From Ground Level (@fromgroundlevel) ~ No ID needed to vote but you need an ID to get help from FEMA?
Suddenly photo ID requirements are fine again.
djackso (@Djackso1492) ~ Must show “photo identification”? I was told this was racist.
They did a one-eighty on that one, but just for this occasion (or to enter a Democrat event).
