FEMA denies aid to Arizona counties after disastrous monsoon floods

[Fort Fun Indiana]

If you live in a flood zone, people are required to have flood insurance by their mortgage companies. AZ get floods every year.

.

And if you dont live in a FEMA designated flood zone, you are not required to buy flood insurance.

One reason catastrophic floods are so catastrophic is that places that are not designated flood zones get flooded.

See where this is going?

THAT IS WHAT FEMA WAS CREATED TO DO - HANDLE THE DISASTERS.

Yea, kind of the point of FEMA.

 

[Zincwarrior]

Yeah, major disasters, not minor crap like this, when it happens every year in the desert States.

.

You are the arbiter of disasters now?

Kinda says it right in the name

Did this flood happen in a flood zone?

 

[Dragonlady]

Correct and fema determined this was not such a disaster

Trump is ending FEMA and cancelling all financial aid to blue states.

Then why did he request funding for it in his budget request?

Not surprising a Dem gov needs a federal bailout

At least they didn’t crash the US economy, with fiscal incompetence. It takes a Republican to crash the entire US economy.

And then they blame the Democrats for that too and like a trained seal, you fall for it every time.

The Arizona govt didn’t. You are right

But the xiden admin did. Thank goodness those dark times are behind us…23 percent inflation and a majority of the country worse off then they were before they took office Majority of Americans Feel Worse Off Than Four Years Ago

 

[OKTexas]

So does Texass. They got federal money because they have a republican governor.

I think the size of the disaster had more to do with it than who the governor is.

Instead of just making a claim, how about you provide proof of your point.

30 million ain't much of a disaster now days.

[marvin martian]

The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) on Wednesday denied aid to Arizona counties after September flooding.

Maybe because Noem rerouted the funding to pet projects like immigration and there isn't any money left?

Or is it just another "**** you" to a Democratic governor?

There were n reasons given, just a denial.

Not the first time this year either, BTW.

It's also happened to Arkansas, California, Illinois, Maryland, Tennessee, Vermont, Washington, and West Virginia.

Fake news.

 

[jknowgood]

LOL, nope.

A pattern of denying aid to states with Democratic governors.

Like North Carolina after Helena? You loons passed homes with Trump signs. You talking about that fair play? I actually think if you're in need it doesn't matter what party you're affiliated with. You should get help, but you loons think different.

Seems crying dems don’t like their own tactics.

Hey, I had a couple shingles blown off in the last high wind day here, should FEMA be required to swoop in?

Only if thats the law that governs FEMA.

Ridiculous....I could see if it were a major disaster...But a 30 milllion dollar storm? Let the state take care of it.
