News::Growing Impatient With FEMA

This is why we train every week .. the LVH CERT Team.. come join us.

News::Growing Impatient With FEMA: "Like the children's book Where's Waldo, people here are wondering where's FEMA? One man says, 'quick to talk slow to action' Another man says, '3 or 4 fours houses, caved in probably condemned.' Dixie Brown says, 'You don't have no electricity, they want you to call but we have no phones. Where are all the trucks? The help where is everybody? From muggy basements to sloppy streets, the mud the wreckage and the frustration are filling these devastated towns like Stockton. It's been more than 60 hours since the floods killed people destroyed homes and ruined lives and not until late this afternoon did our newsroom receive a single fax email or phone call from FEMA. An emergency supply and donation center has been set up by the the Chamber of Commerce in the Winona mall, but people want to know 'why are they are not bringing the needed supplies across the county?'
