Yes you apply for that then when they deny you for loan FEMA u apply for FEMA show you were denied loan and then FEMA agent comes gets measure ment of home and gives you square footage on it and cut a check for things in home but very little like 500$ clothes on TV one stove one frig so you don't get much money@@RobynonUA-cam
Yes most people didn't have flood insurance so then you file for loan which you won't get because you have nothing collateral or a job due to your situation so you get FEMA that's square footage on your home probably like 50 thousand and another ten for your clothes and 10 for house furniture n your car 10 if it was registered and updated and you fill out more FEMA paper at the FEMA tents to get a crew to come help you clean up and they should have tents like army tents for you to use or trailers until you complete your new place and you can get brooms mops bleach and buckets other supplies from salvation army trucks should be in the area You will not get fully compensated but a small start back up like a small tiny home but you need Wells infrastructure this is very bad need extra help President should be there
My wife and 2 small children self deployed from Indiana to a small church in Spruce Pine, NC. We collected money from my work and local community to buy supplies. We used our own money from our own pocket to do everything. I still have all of the receipts. We were there a week and never saw a single FEMA person. Everyone I met was a volunteer.
I live here. I cant thank you all enough. Believe me when I say, we all know who the REAL heros are and its people like you and we will be forever grateful. We will never forget and we will make SURE who gets the credit for being here. ❤
Many thanks to yall, but all the glory to God. He is the One who made it possible. We continue to send support. I’d really like to be on the ground again, and hopefully will be able to return in the coming months. Yall are in our prayers each and every day!

Olivia, I have friends from Mississippi who are VOLUNTEERS, not being paid by anyone-in Asheville as I type, helping clean mud out of homes. She described and photo’ed electrical outlets full of mud, wall space behind them full of mud. It’s just horrible. I also have other friends that are from and live in Black Mountain, whose business is in Swannanoa that is using their space for receiving and distributing donations. It’s just heartbreaking nothing is being handled properly. Most have been denied the $750 measly dollars.
@@NiecyB they have all been denied. Anger issues much? Like, wt foreal f. You don’t even know me and want to spew about a water bottle? The water bottle, was indeed found by them (and) submitted to police that was returned to and held by the attorney for the Laundries. Besides that-like I said-I have actual friends-there-in Asheville-HELPING, as in, volunteering. There has been zero clean up in Asheville. By anyone. No FEMA.
FEMA doesn't clean up private property. That's not their job. But all you "small government" folks want someone else to pay to make you whole after a disaster? LOL
It sounds like the FEMA lady doesn't understand what the people are dealing with as far as the denials. She has worked with FEMA and knows how the system works. There have been reports from reliable sources that investigated from day one and FEMA has designated certain demographics to qualify. The people who are being denied do not meet the demographics.
NO SHE IS WRONG! We were boots on the ground. It is all locals or volunteers from across America bringing equipment creating roads! Volunteers spending their own money to travel to area to help!
The good thing is those of us not indoctrinated, know it’s volunteers and locals working together as communities. We’ve seen the lack of response in the recent disasters.
I can’t speak for everyone or everywhere, but I spent 3 weeks and thousands of $$ of my own money helping out. Except for a large crew working on a state highway, and linemen, everyone I met and worked with were wholly volunteer and spending their own money or being sponsored by a church or private group of folks. And we were rebuilding roads, delivering supplies, mucking out homes, hauling debris, etc.
FEMA GAVE EVERYONE $750 fir imnediate emergency. They each recieved $42000 dollars If you volunteer you time and donate your materials it is just that you can't expect FEMA to pay you.

FEMA is not doing hardly anything here in WNC. They have a table set up where you can go to talk to them and they enter your info on a computer but no one is being helped with their lost homes or damaged driveways. We've paid out of our own pocket trying to repair damage. Never even got the $750 No one we know got it. Just deny notices and some lost everything!
She may be right about a few. Gentry and Sons Trucking has a video where they are volunteering fixing a road and FEMA shuts them down, but FEMA tells them they can sign up and be hired since they have their own equipment. But I don't think there's as many as she's claiming at all.
I have tons of family throughout the entire disaster zone from Florida to Georgia to North Carolina and not one of them has been helped by FEMA!! Maybe they're helping her because she's one of them. Furthermore, I was hit by all 4 hurricanes she's mentioning and the only thing FEMA did for my family back then was reimburse us for the overpriced generator we bought and that took months!
I lived in Florida then too. We got nothing from them. Just like the people are getting nothing now. That's exactly why they have 9 billion dollars, but tell everyone that they're broke, because Biden sent all the money to Ukraine.
The official's are not telling the truth. The news is not telling the truth, but the people deserve to know what's really going on... There's thousands of people missing and presumed dead, the officials told SAR team's not to tell anyone how many bodies they recovered. And the SAR team's are not being paid either. Strictly volunteer. They are now racing against DOT, because they want to start replacing rebuilding the roads and bridge's but there are still people amongst the debris, piles. You can smell the death in the air and if you don't believe, then go to Chimney Rock, or Bat Cave , go to the towns by the river bank's... See and smell for yourself. 😭😭😭😭😭
I cannot even watch this bs. HE IS CORRECT AND SHE'LL BE ANSWERING TO GOD ALMIGHTY. I am gonna go visit her (since I'm a native) and ask if I can pray with her for her salvation. Anyone can be redeemed. She just has to REPENT HER BLASPHEMOUS LYING EGO, SHED THE OLD MAN, AND BE BORN AGAIN.
What we've got here is a rich/upper middle class former gov employee of FEMA who's retired from the agency, a typical Asheville Democrat as well and she doesn't know what's going on outside of there. Like everything else she still has friends/connections inside FEMA and they help their own just like every other gov agency does with their former employees that have retired from them. She has no idea what's going on in the rural little areas where the middle to lower classes live and how my cousin has been down there helping on his own dime since the storm hit and only been back home to southwest VA twice for a short 2 day stay to see his son's since the storm hit.
She is ridiculous! We are on the outside looking in and there hasn’t been any coverage on Nc and TN anywhere. I couldn’t continue listening to her nonsense about fema.
So you aren't in the area where the hurricane hit? So you are just believing a random person when a real victim kept telkung the truth. FEMA HAS GIVEN BILLIONS ALTEADY 42, 000 DOLKARS A HOUSE. TMVOLUNYEERS DO JUST THST VOLUTEER. THEY DON'T DO IT TO GET PAID
@@SilentWeaponsQuietWars So did I but she has two channels, both of which you referenced. This channel we are on now and... @fallingthroughthecracks • 4.16K subscribers • 20 videos
What the hell did she mean? There were so many volunteers, it overwhelmed the entire system, and you couldn't call or make text, does she not realize that the system was completely down possibly before the storm ever hit?That's why people didn't get the emergency alerts.Where has this woman been hiding?And can we put her back
She’s very sure of herself, but I’m really not inclined to believe her. Weather she formerly worked for FEMA or not. 2004 was a different time and president. They may be there now, but they weren’t there when they needed to be there. They didn’t help these people when it first happened. As much as this guy talks and gives information, she constantly backs FEMA. The locals are helping more than anyone. She may be getting help, but there are a lot that still haven’t been helped at all. Nobody wants to fund FEMA until a disaster happens? FEMA is funded year around and by our government. FEMA is a federally funded emergency relief program. She acts like she knows a lot. I’m betting she doesn’t know anything about FEMA today.
I'm pretty sure she STILL works for them, or is a paid actor. FEMA isn't helping, they're hurting us. Some have learned they cannot be trusted. The few decent workers warn people that the others will try to trip you up so they won't have to pay. They must be doing a good job because I don't know of anyone that even got the $750
I wonder if she's got a contract with them ?? Well ... Then she knows that they have 9 billion dollars, but they claim to be broke and can't even make it through Hurricane Season. Liar's 😤😤😤
Poor thing, she is blinded by her bias and thinks she knows what's going on because she worked with FEMA over TWENTY YEARS AGO!!!?!? 😢 Thank you for showing us what's going on and not editing out differing opinions etc. Praying for all the recovery and help needed in the area. I pray our government gets in proper order to finally take care of our citizens!! This is a tragedy and honestly treasonous
@@bsholderlowescs Whatever that means! FEMA has never been up to par ;even 20 yrs ago! Now it is political which means it needs to be dismantled and rebuilt .
I'm so sorry, I know you are. We are doing all we can to get the truth to the people, and to help spread awareness. God Bless You and all the people that were effected by the hurricane's. People are still coming to help we will not leave ya all like they did. ❤🙏🇺🇲
$30 an hour? I don’t know. I agree with the gentleman. We have friends that go up to those mountains every weekend if it wasn’t for the common people on the ground. I’m not so sure what would’ve happened 🙏🙏🙏
To be fair, one political side DID help. There was/is a Trump authorized GoFundMe and it's raised a ton of money. There are 3 different organizations that are receiving funds and distributing.
Yes, but not FEMA. I watched the hearing with Congress and it was a bunch of lies from Criswell. They must be using their money for illegals because it certainly isn't going to Americans in these hurricane damaged areas. I saw where they're building a big compound in Candler for FEMA employees. Some money is going into that. It's not helping us any
Yes this is true. And Trump donated out of his own pocket as well. However the leader of the organization told her employees if you see a Trump sign, or flag in there yard, or any where near them. DO NOT HELP THEM . SHES SINCE BEEN FIRED, and you can verify this too. Google it.
@kevinfowler8712 yes. An 80 y.o. widow living by a nearly creek got washed out and applied for aid. She was denied the 750 but fema offered her 14k for her half million dollar farm
@@ano1962 No One? Many of youtube documenters and eye witnesses prove just the opposite of your ill informed statement. Private Volunteer road construction pros, chopper owners. Personal Volunteer 4X4 owners and many others!
@@ano1962funny govt workers can't get it together but all kinds of strangers volunteering can! Maybe govt needs to reconsider their hiring practices..
I live in a devastated area and know she's lying. I suspect the woman is still an employee but not one from here. Or a paid actor. Truth is not in her.
It's strictly volunteer's and they're getting overwhelmed. The water is so toxic, it's ending lives. Cadaver dog's have died, horse's have died, it's eating up the boots people are wearing. The mud too, and the dust is causing rashes and bad coughs. You have to know the truth. God Bless You, I'm sure they'll shut me up soon , but please share the information. Ya all can verify everything I've said. Honest. God Bless You All.
Imagine your property getting destroyed by a Hurricane and this lunatic is the inspector that you had to deal with. It is horrible what these people are going through.
@angiemishoe8838.. FEMA has a camp around Asheville somewhere but they're sitting there doing nothing. Also , they have 9 billion dollars, but they claim they're broke. I'm outraged and trying to tell people what's really going on. Please share the information it's very important. Also I seen where the officials said that the people can drink the tap water again, and don't have to boil it anymore... Please let people know that is not true, do not drink the water. Please. 🙏 ❤ 😭 🇺🇲
They were never staged. We drove through that area on wednesday before the storm ( Chimley Rock to Greenville Tennessee.Everything was beautiful. We went to Kentucky and were there during the storm. We had to drive back to Hawkins, county, Tennessee, and then make our way back past Columbia, South Carolina to get home, there was a lot of devastation, and there were no National Guard on any of the interstates anywhere we went back a week later and took supplies. To a church went through N.C. and Virginia. We never saw national guard or fema. we saw a lot of private vehicles with trailers and four wheelers covered in mud, and we saw a lot of trucks from the power companies. The power companies had a great response. They had plenty of crews, and you saw them everywhere on the interstates, and on the back roads, where was everybody else? You're going to tell me that the power companies are doing a better job than Fema, and that's not a problem?
It's just propaganda. They shut down church kitchens serving hot meals to victims and rescue workers and stole tractor trailor loads of donations then pretended THEY brought goods to help us. Truckers would come the 7 miles up the mountain to report the thefts. Traffic was down to one westbound lane because of a mudslide on I=40 so they stopped truckers there and confiscated whole loads of supplies bound for the distribution center in Black Mountain. They finished the journey upset that FEMA took it all. Law enforcement knows the truth. They were on the mountain stopping traffic that didn't carry aid. Another upsetting thing was Fire Chiefs were ordered to keep the real death counts secret too. It was so much higher than the news says. Thousands are dead according to rescue workers. Several feet of mud is where grass once was and cadaver dogs signal bodies are there. FEMA just burns piles of debris where cadaverdogs signal dead people! It's horrifying! No closure for families of missing loved ones! It's all a big cover up.
What is the budget for FEMA disaster relief 2024? Congress granted FEMA's major disasters fund $20.2 billion for the 2024 fiscal year, according to a Congressional Research Service report. So where did that money go,,,, hmm
Why does she keep apologizing for FEMA and making excuses for them? She keeps telling the guy not to compare Katrina, but all she talks about is her previous job and how it worked.
Private individuals can work on fema contracts but they have to be on the approved list. Once that contract is approved, the contractors can hire locals who may have no idea they are working for fema because they are being paid by the contractor
There you go she is a government agent and she's a Democrat she just answered her own question and her job is to promote the fact that they're out there working.
She speaks as though she is not from that area originally and therefore I feel like she does not truly comprehend what has happened. I'm very happy for her that she got to enjoy that for a while, but reality should soon set in.
I don't believe fema is capable of covering a disaster as big as this. The military and reserves all have to help in a disaster like this, biggest problem is we don't presently have a commander and chief.
We get she understands that, omgoodness _ however, not understanding all the volunteers (unpaid ) side at all. and, I might add people not getting any help! Sad and should not happen!
Yes, I agree with you about the National Guard, and all those kind of people they were being held back by our government officials. All we can do is blame our own government for every decision that was not made right.
My goodness this woman really doesn't know alot from what I saw volunteers has helped the most out of the goodness of their hearts God bless these people
We were on our own for over a week. It was all locals helping locals. Siphoning gas out of any vehicles still accessible to put in heavy equipment and generators. We took care of each other. FEMA still hasn’t even scheduled the inspection of my property, it’s November 21st! Nobody got paid by FEMA. Money was All donations and church groups that made it in after a week, literally giving out cash. Private helicopters brought relief, not FEMA. Our volunteer fire department was incredible and dependable. Veterans groups jumped into action. Recovery missions. Search and rescue. No one was paid for that work. It was communities coming together and helping each other. We are on our own. The government is not there for us.
This lady has no idea what's going on. You can tell who she voted for! She is just trying to defend her incompetent government. In 2004 money was not being squandered from the FEMA fund the way it has been the last 3 years. Samaritans Purse was boots on the ground waaay before FEMA. So she is blaming volunteers for overwhelming the communications system. SMH I had no cell service in Georgia for a week and my area was not hit as hard as many areas in Georgia. The average power outage in my area was 7 days. Volunteers and churches did all they could for us. Those who did apply for assistance were denied. This week, almost 2 monts later, we are seeing some FEMA money assistance, but many without insurance are still being denied. Also, those who receive SNAP benefits were automatically approve for $750 food assistance, even if they did not lose the food in their refrigerator/freezer. I was denied. I lost food in 2 refrigerators.
If you are an approved fema vendor (private individuals vetted by fema) can hire locals to perform parts of the contract. The locals are paid by the vendor with fema funds. They may have no idea the fema group is actually paying them
I didn't have any heavy equipment to bring, but I donated money to buy fuel for helicopters, bought supplies for farmers whose livestock were running all over creation and donated money for a project to build acces bridges to get people back into their neighborhoods. I'm not rich, but small contributions from everyone allowed a lot of people to get to work solving this problem. Nobody's gonna sit around and wait for fema.
This lady is delusional! I actually had a gentleman from DC call me yesterday about my experience with fema and once I told him what all they have done to me he was furious. He said it was a disgrace to the citizens of this region and it’s an absolute joke. They have never let me speak with a supervisor which he said was completely bogus that supervisors will speak with people. They just didn’t want to lose their jobs but they are about to. I have his number and was told to call him or even text him if I had vent heard from them in 48 hours. Fema is nowhere to be found here.
The rain storm that was 2-3 days before Helena dumped more water than goes over Niagara Falls in a day. There is 703,000 gallons per second going over the falls. Radar images show a strange signals coming off the cell towers, that seemed to stall the storm & the Helena hit. There is now a land grab going on. Makes me wonder if there is a connection. The land grab is for the minerals in the mountains. Thousands have died. Very sad.
Whhhhhat?!!! I didn’t know this about the bullshit 750! How was that plan ever approved? Sure! Take the 750 I’m. It gonna pay ya back. You want my property? Go dig it out of the mud!! Smfh
Local contractors are doing contracted work for NC DOT but NC DOT is still waiting to get paid from FEMA to pay the contractors. My husband works for one of these local contractors and the local contractors ARE using their own money right now and some are majorly struggling because they haven’t been paid for their work yet. The contractors have submitted their invoices like they’re supposed to but still haven’t received payment for their work. It’s ridiculous!!! She’s oblivious to reality!!!! I can give her names of local contractors to contact and hear their side.
I doubt she would listen, she lives in denial like other non-God fearing people do. They don’t want to see any evidence that disproves their feelings. Their feelings are everything to them.
Ask her where the campers and temporary homes for the people that lost their homes. People are still living in tents 2 months later and it’s cold weather now!
FEMA may be there but they could be doing a hell of a better job but it's the way the government works. Works is not the right word for the government. She is right but it's nothing to brag about. They could be doing a lot more than they are, that's what chaps everyone. There has been a lot of government interference of good volunteer work. That's unacceptable.
If she loves and praises FEMA so much then please note which property is hers and inform the volunteers they don't need to help her rebuild, FEMA is going to do it all, it will free them up to help people who actually deserve the help.
She is tired of the american people saying fema isnt helping ? We literally have americans being told they cannot be helped from fema! I have a few videos of this happening and not to mention fema workers are speaking up against fema workers 🤦♀️
Volunteers are paying for fuel for trucks and machinery with DONATIONS from their ONLINE DONORS and fundraisers.

Exactly
I believe you,every person i have spoke to says the same
FEMA inspector came to my flooded, damages, and mold filled home finally. I was denied any help. She's full of it.
From what I’ve been told, FEMA requires verification that your insurance has denied you before they can assist you.

Same!! We lost our roof, privacy fence and much more during Ivan. We were reimbursed for a chainsaw we bought to remove trees that landed on the roof.
I lived in Florida then too. We got nothing from them. Just like the people are getting nothing now. That's exactly why they have 9 billion dollars, but tell everyone that they're broke, because Biden sent all the money to Ukraine.
The official's are not telling the truth. The news is not telling the truth, but the people deserve to know what's really going on... There's thousands of people missing and presumed dead, the officials told SAR team's not to tell anyone how many bodies they recovered. And the SAR team's are not being paid either. Strictly volunteer. They are now racing against DOT, because they want to start replacing rebuilding the roads and bridge's but there are still people amongst the debris, piles. You can smell the death in the air and if you don't believe, then go to Chimney Rock, or Bat Cave , go to the towns by the river bank's... See and smell for yourself. 😭😭😭😭😭
I cannot even watch this bs. HE IS CORRECT AND SHE'LL BE ANSWERING TO GOD ALMIGHTY. I am gonna go visit her (since I'm a native) and ask if I can pray with her for her salvation. Anyone can be redeemed. She just has to REPENT HER BLASPHEMOUS LYING EGO, SHED THE OLD MAN, AND BE BORN AGAIN.
What we've got here is a rich/upper middle class former gov employee of FEMA who's retired from the agency, a typical Asheville Democrat as well and she doesn't know what's going on outside of there. Like everything else she still has friends/connections inside FEMA and they help their own just like every other gov agency does with their former employees that have retired from them. She has no idea what's going on in the rural little areas where the middle to lower classes live and how my cousin has been down there helping on his own dime since the storm hit and only been back home to southwest VA twice for a short 2 day stay to see his son's since the storm hit.
White liberal women are insane.
"She is a fraud" her straw man argument is sociopathic! They all act the same when looking, hearing what "is" Great video guys!
She kept interrupting. Excuses!
@hollier9485 Total agent of misinformation! It wouldn't surprise me that wasn't even her house!
@@rfiskillingussoftly6568 Yeah, she is a useful idiot.
She is ridiculous! We are on the outside looking in and there hasn’t been any coverage on Nc and TN anywhere. I couldn’t continue listening to her nonsense about fema.
So you aren't in the area where the hurricane hit? So you are just believing a random person when a real victim kept telkung the truth. FEMA HAS GIVEN BILLIONS ALTEADY 42, 000 DOLKARS A HOUSE. TMVOLUNYEERS DO JUST THST VOLUTEER. THEY DON'T DO IT TO GET PAID

What the hell did she mean? There were so many volunteers, it overwhelmed the entire system, and you couldn't call or make text, does she not realize that the system was completely down possibly before the storm ever hit?That's why people didn't get the emergency alerts.Where has this woman been hiding?And can we put her back
She sounds psychotic and I bet fema helped her and is helping her what a crazy old bat I'm sorry she's full of it
Lol. Exactly. Put her back in a FEMA room. Please.
She’s very sure of herself, but I’m really not inclined to believe her. Weather she formerly worked for FEMA or not. 2004 was a different time and president. They may be there now, but they weren’t there when they needed to be there. They didn’t help these people when it first happened. As much as this guy talks and gives information, she constantly backs FEMA. The locals are helping more than anyone.
She may be getting help, but there are a lot that still haven’t been helped at all.
Nobody wants to fund FEMA until a disaster happens? FEMA is funded year around and by our government. FEMA is a federally funded emergency relief program. She acts like she knows a lot. I’m betting she doesn’t know anything about FEMA today.
I'm pretty sure she STILL works for them, or is a paid actor.
FEMA isn't helping, they're hurting us. Some have learned they cannot be trusted. The few decent workers warn people that the others will try to trip you up so they won't have to pay. They must be doing a good job because I don't know of anyone that even got the $750
I wonder if she's got a contract with them ?? Well ... Then she knows that they have 9 billion dollars, but they claim to be broke and can't even make it through Hurricane Season. Liar's 😤😤😤
Why did/are thousands of applicants being DENIED?
That man is right 100 percent.and shes wrong.
Yes I see now what you’re saying and that lady needs to talk to that man in Pensacola and she would probably get mad at him lol 😂
I live in Hendersonville North Carolina haven’t seen FEMA yet
Thank you all for helping these people!!🙌🙏
Poor thing, she is blinded by her bias and thinks she knows what's going on because she worked with FEMA over TWENTY YEARS AGO!!!?!? 😢
Thank you for showing us what's going on and not editing out differing opinions etc.
Praying for all the recovery and help needed in the area. I pray our government gets in proper order to finally take care of our citizens!! This is a tragedy and honestly treasonous
FEMA 20 yrs ago is not the same as FEMA 2024.
@@bsholderlowescs Whatever that means! FEMA has never been up to par ;even 20 yrs ago! Now it is political which means it needs to be dismantled and rebuilt .
THIS NEEDS TO BE LOOKED INTO!! IT'S A SHAME...WE ARE IMPORTANT PEOPLE TOO... # JUSTICE FOR NC
I'm so sorry, I know you are. We are doing all we can to get the truth to the people, and to help spread awareness. God Bless You and all the people that were effected by the hurricane's. People are still coming to help we will not leave ya all like they did. ❤🙏🇺🇲
$30 an hour? I don’t know. I agree with the gentleman. We have friends that go up to those mountains every weekend if it wasn’t for the common people on the ground. I’m not so sure what would’ve happened 🙏🙏🙏
Absolutely they're not getting help from the government or fema 🤬🤬🤬
To be fair, one political side DID help. There was/is a Trump authorized GoFundMe and it's raised a ton of money. There are 3 different organizations that are receiving funds and distributing.
Yes, but not FEMA. I watched the hearing with Congress and it was a bunch of lies from Criswell. They must be using their money for illegals because it certainly isn't going to Americans in these hurricane damaged areas. I saw where they're building a big compound in Candler for FEMA employees. Some money is going into that. It's not helping us any
Yes this is true. And Trump donated out of his own pocket as well. However the leader of the organization told her employees if you see a Trump sign, or flag in there yard, or any where near them. DO NOT HELP THEM . SHES SINCE BEEN FIRED, and you can verify this too. Google it.
Where's Elon Musk?
I'm in ashe county nc, fema was run out of here for predatory behavior. Our local fire chief and sheriff told them to leave. Old girl is full of shit
Could you expound on the usage of "predatory behavior" for us? Thanks in advance...
@kevinfowler8712 yes. An 80 y.o. widow living by a nearly creek got washed out and applied for aid. She was denied the 750 but fema offered her 14k for her half million dollar farm
@@stevehall9256jeez omg
This was premeditated murder. Stands to reason the culprits would send out trained liars
Agree 💯
Perhaps she should acknowledge that government efficiency sucks in general
How about people acknowledge no one is going to be efficient after a once in a lifetime storm
How about she tell the truth about Fema, that have 9 billion dollars 💰💰💰💰💰💰💰
@@ano1962
No One? Many of youtube documenters and eye witnesses prove just the opposite of your ill informed statement. Private Volunteer road construction pros, chopper owners. Personal Volunteer 4X4 owners and many others!
@@ano1962funny govt workers can't get it together but all kinds of strangers volunteering can! Maybe govt needs to reconsider their hiring practices..
Trumps picks will get rid of that govt waste
The military should be in there going through all the debri and funding bodies. She is very biased
I live in a devastated area and know she's lying. I suspect the woman is still an employee but not one from here. Or a paid actor. Truth is not in her.
It's strictly volunteer's and they're getting overwhelmed. The water is so toxic, it's ending lives. Cadaver dog's have died, horse's have died, it's eating up the boots people are wearing. The mud too, and the dust is causing rashes and bad coughs. You have to know the truth. God Bless You, I'm sure they'll shut me up soon , but please share the information. Ya all can verify everything I've said. Honest. God Bless You All.
The soldiers wanted and still want to. The pols and desk jockeys seem unconcerned.
Imagine your property getting destroyed by a Hurricane and this lunatic is the inspector that you had to deal with. It is horrible what these people are going through.
The national guard should have been activated asap and they had to wait for orders which didn't come forever
And we've been funding fema for years, and where did that money go
"Newcomers" that's where!😡
@angiemishoe8838.. FEMA has a camp around Asheville somewhere but they're sitting there doing nothing. Also , they have 9 billion dollars, but they claim they're broke. I'm outraged and trying to tell people what's really going on. Please share the information it's very important. Also I seen where the officials said that the people can drink the tap water again, and don't have to boil it anymore... Please let people know that is not true, do not drink the water. Please. 🙏 ❤ 😭 🇺🇲
To house ILLEGAL immigrants
They were never staged. We drove through that area on wednesday before the storm ( Chimley Rock to Greenville Tennessee.Everything was beautiful. We went to Kentucky and were there during the storm. We had to drive back to Hawkins, county, Tennessee, and then make our way back past Columbia, South Carolina to get home, there was a lot of devastation, and there were no National Guard on any of the interstates anywhere we went back a week later and took supplies. To a church went through N.C. and Virginia. We never saw national guard or fema. we saw a lot of private vehicles with trailers and four wheelers covered in mud, and we saw a lot of trucks from the power companies. The power companies had a great response. They had plenty of crews, and you saw them everywhere on the interstates, and on the back roads, where was everybody else? You're going to tell me that the power companies are doing a better job than Fema, and that's not a problem?
...says the FEMA worker.
It's just propaganda. They shut down church kitchens serving hot meals to victims and rescue workers and stole tractor trailor loads of donations then pretended THEY brought goods to help us. Truckers would come the 7 miles up the mountain to report the thefts. Traffic was down to one westbound lane because of a mudslide on I=40 so they stopped truckers there and confiscated whole loads of supplies bound for the distribution center in Black Mountain. They finished the journey upset that FEMA took it all.
Law enforcement knows the truth. They were on the mountain stopping traffic that didn't carry aid. Another upsetting thing was Fire Chiefs were ordered to keep the real death counts secret too. It was so much higher than the news says. Thousands are dead according to rescue workers. Several feet of mud is where grass once was and cadaver dogs signal bodies are there. FEMA just burns piles of debris where cadaverdogs signal dead people! It's horrifying! No closure for families of missing loved ones!
It's all a big cover up.
Don’t go to the voting in Congress-- Fema has a Huge budget and they spent the budget on other things
Im outta here. Can't listen to this lady anymore.
Almost three minutes of listening to her.....I'm done, can't listen to her BS.
What is the budget for FEMA disaster relief 2024? Congress granted FEMA's major disasters fund $20.2 billion for the 2024 fiscal year, according to a Congressional Research Service report.
So where did that money go,,,, hmm
There ya go
SHE WONT EVEN LET HIM TALK
Fema girl talks
SHE IS A TRANSPLANTED KAREN
You know when they are losing when they start yelling and won’t hear anyone else. She clearly exhibits it.
That woman is terrible
Myorkas said they did not have money for Citizens
@kaymarshall they have 9 billion dollars 💰💰💰💰💰💰💰 Liar's all of them.
Why does she keep apologizing for FEMA and making excuses for them? She keeps telling the guy not to compare Katrina, but all she talks about is her previous job and how it worked.
This storm out did Katrina by far. It's the deadly est , one in history. 😭😭😭
She is delusional.
I personally know this man he is a great man with a huge heart and he and his crew have been helping since day one! This lady is delusional!
I wish she would have left us his contact info.
Who has the millions in donations that was raised for helping the people? I think this lady maybe receiving some privileges if she worked for Fema
Private individuals can work on fema contracts but they have to be on the approved list. Once that contract is approved, the contractors can hire locals who may have no idea they are working for fema because they are being paid by the contractor
Since when has government paid anyone that fast out of emergency funds
She's right, give credit where credit is due and thank all the thousands of volunteers giving of themselves for others!
Right there is a trained liar .
There you go she is a government agent and she's a Democrat she just answered her own question and her job is to promote the fact that they're out there working.
Hearing her talking made my brain bleed
She speaks as though she is not from that area originally and therefore I feel like she does not truly comprehend what has happened. I'm very happy for her that she got to enjoy that for a while, but reality should soon set in.
That is so sad sending prayers
Weather Engineering at work. Never trust the Federal Government.
Blame your governor. FEMA or any other entity cannot be deployed until he asks for help.
I don't believe fema is capable of covering a disaster as big as this. The military and reserves all have to help in a disaster like this, biggest problem is we don't presently have a commander and chief.
We get she understands that, omgoodness _ however, not understanding all the volunteers (unpaid ) side at all. and, I might add people not getting any help! Sad and should not happen!
That's right . 😤😤😤 We pay taxes, we are the American People and they are supposed to work for us!!
Yes, I agree with you about the National Guard, and all those kind of people they were being held back by our government officials. All we can do is blame our own government for every decision that was not made right.
With all due respect, she is brainwashed.
My goodness this woman really doesn't know alot from what I saw volunteers has helped the most out of the goodness of their hearts God bless these people
After hurricane Charlie in Florida, Fema came ,gave me nothing! It took a year and a half to rebuild,forget getting help from fema,worthless!
Meee Toooo 4 storms in a row, we got nothing from them.
I bet she voted Harris..
You only have to look it up on the FEMA website, what she's saying isn't true. It has to be approved equipment, with insured operators.
Taking away children from parents
She's a liar
Bull, spent time there a week ago, never say or talked to anyone working with or for FEMA. she’s crazy.
you have NO multimillionaire government official giving up ANY of their money to help people who PAY them!!!!
Taking the land from the people
Seems that she's a prime example of a FEMA employee, past and present. 🤔
my son lives here by mountain city and all the help they got was from neighbors, samaritans purse and local churches!
She's a fraud
Probably a paid actor. People aren't getting the $750 that lost everything.
We were on our own for over a week. It was all locals helping locals. Siphoning gas out of any vehicles still accessible to put in heavy equipment and generators. We took care of each other. FEMA still hasn’t even scheduled the inspection of my property, it’s November 21st! Nobody got paid by FEMA. Money was All donations and church groups that made it in after a week, literally giving out cash. Private helicopters brought relief, not FEMA. Our volunteer fire department was incredible and dependable. Veterans groups jumped into action. Recovery missions. Search and rescue. No one was paid for that work. It was communities coming together and helping each other. We are on our own. The government is not there for us.
This lady has no idea what's going on. You can tell who she voted for! She is just trying to defend her incompetent government. In 2004 money was not being squandered from the FEMA fund the way it has been the last 3 years. Samaritans Purse was boots on the ground waaay before FEMA. So she is blaming volunteers for overwhelming the communications system. SMH
I had no cell service in Georgia for a week and my area was not hit as hard as many areas in Georgia. The average power outage in my area was 7 days. Volunteers and churches did all they could for us. Those who did apply for assistance were denied. This week, almost 2 monts later, we are seeing some FEMA money assistance, but many without insurance are still being denied. Also, those who receive SNAP benefits were automatically approve for $750 food assistance, even if they did not lose the food in their refrigerator/freezer. I was denied. I lost food in 2 refrigerators.
This woman is pissing me off - of course she is right and EVERYONE else is wrong. Let FEMA rebuild her home,
Is she saying that FEMA is hiring independent contractors ?
Yes
If you are an approved fema vendor (private individuals vetted by fema) can hire locals to perform parts of the contract. The locals are paid by the vendor with fema funds. They may have no idea the fema group is actually paying them
Not all of them are getting paid by FEMA.
Well I know Prime Fuels donated 700 gallons of fuel for the truck's, and heavy equipment. Just last night or today. Not FEMA
Sure would be nice if “FEMA lady” would let the man in the blue jacket finish his statement.
“Praise ye the LORD. O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever.”
Psalms 106:1 (KJV)
I didn't have any heavy equipment to bring, but I donated money to buy fuel for helicopters, bought supplies for farmers whose livestock were running all over creation and donated money for a project to build acces bridges to get people back into their neighborhoods. I'm not rich, but small contributions from everyone allowed a lot of people to get to work solving this problem. Nobody's gonna sit around and wait for fema.
Me think she's full of it !!!!
I’m sorry this woman is SO frustrated & that she lost her 120 year old home. She’s convincing me that FEMA sucks simply by her behavior
This is heartbreaking!! We all know why you’re not getting help!! Prayers for all of you that are affected. I live in NC!❤
No matter how much you think fema is helping THEY ARE NOT!!!!!!
Trump got Elon Musk involved, who has donated StarLink to get communications up.
This lady is either an agent, or is mentally unhinged IMHO.
This lady is delusional! I actually had a gentleman from DC call me yesterday about my experience with fema and once I told him what all they have done to me he was furious. He said it was a disgrace to the citizens of this region and it’s an absolute joke. They have never let me speak with a supervisor which he said was completely bogus that supervisors will speak with people. They just didn’t want to lose their jobs but they are about to. I have his number and was told to call him or even text him if I had vent heard from them in 48 hours. Fema is nowhere to be found here.
The rain storm that was 2-3 days before Helena dumped more water than goes over Niagara Falls in a day. There is 703,000 gallons per second going over the falls. Radar images show a strange signals coming off the cell towers, that seemed to stall the storm & the Helena hit. There is now a land grab going on. Makes me wonder if there is a connection. The land grab is for the minerals in the mountains. Thousands have died. Very sad.
Check Unicoi county Tennessee. FEMA offered 750. And if you accept it you have a year to pay it back or they take your property.
Nowhere is it mentioned that people have to pay back the $750 or they will take your property. That has been debunked!
Whhhhhat?!!! I didn’t know this about the bullshit 750! How was that plan ever approved? Sure! Take the 750 I’m. It gonna pay ya back. You want my property? Go dig it out of the mud!! Smfh
@@OGNanny I believe that is a rumor that was debunked.
@ I sure hope so 🤗
This was fascinating! Thank you for what youre doing, Olivia
Local contractors are doing contracted work for NC DOT but NC DOT is still waiting to get paid from FEMA to pay the contractors. My husband works for one of these local contractors and the local contractors ARE using their own money right now and some are majorly struggling because they haven’t been paid for their work yet. The contractors have submitted their invoices like they’re supposed to but still haven’t received payment for their work. It’s ridiculous!!! She’s oblivious to reality!!!!
I can give her names of local contractors to contact and hear their side.
I doubt she would listen, she lives in denial like other non-God fearing people do. They don’t want to see any evidence that disproves their feelings. Their feelings are everything to them.
Ask her where the campers and temporary homes for the people that lost their homes. People are still living in tents 2 months later and it’s cold weather now!
There are so many saying fema are not helping does she really have the right information?
Hey Olivia, good to see you honey , please be careful. I haven't seen you for a while, miss ya all. God Bless You and Mom .❤
What part of The Volunteer State did she not understand... We did not get that nickname because we stand around and just watch and wait.
FEMA may be there but they could be doing a hell of a better job but it's the way the government works.
Works is not the right word for the government. She is right but it's nothing to brag about. They could be doing a lot more than they are, that's what chaps everyone. There has been a lot of government interference of good volunteer work. That's unacceptable.
Explains everything. She was a FEMA inspector.
If she loves and praises FEMA so much then please note which property is hers and inform the volunteers they don't need to help her rebuild, FEMA is going to do it all, it will free them up to help people who actually deserve the help.
Government not goin do jack
She is tired of the american people saying fema isnt helping ? We literally have americans being told they cannot be helped from fema! I have a few videos of this happening and not to mention fema workers are speaking up against fema workers 🤦♀️
Her privilege is showing
