123. i am sorry but you are wrong.fema worked well in the Northridge earthquake
Edited on Tue Aug-22-06 10:55 AM by flyarm
on the valley of Los Angeles..under James Lee Witt...i know i was there and lost my home and the entire valley No. of LA was like a bombing of beruit

our highways were destroyed, our homes were destroyed, many highrises were destroyed, our malls were destroyed, our banks and grocery stores were destroyed..and the 10 freeway in Santa Monica was destroyed..and huge chunks of the freeways in the valley were just gone..

those roads were fixed in record time..Clinton and Lee Witt gave the contractors bonuses to get the roads done ahead of time..and they sure did..and they had to deal with new codes for the roadways and work with engineers to make the roads safer for further earthquakes..so it was also updating technology..but they got the roads done in record time..

until Katrina it was the most expensive disaster on record in the USA.

and Clinton and James Lee witt did such a good job alot of this country really didn't have a clue how damn bad it was..they were so efficient..and professional

yes some people had some complaints..but in less than 24 hours they had tent cities up and running..and within 1 days they were walking our streets looking for dead people...and helping seniors and handicapped..

i know they walked down my street..they had clip board computers and tracked everyone..
they asked people about seniors who might need help..

they within hours were sending trucks out telling people to turn their gas off..

they were there..and they were incredible!

so please..do not say Feme didn't work before Katrina..because i will tell you you are wrong

they were wonderful in the Northridge earthquake under Clinton!

i know i lost my entire home and everything in it!
