Forgotten by FEMA: Staten Island’s Sandy victims vent over lack of aid
“FEMA packed up everything yesterday and left the area,” said MaryLou Wong, whose home in the Midland Beach neighborhood was destroyed. “They haven’t come back.”
Punch-drunk residents’ ire is also aimed at the city — which is going door-to-door to order people out of their homes — at the American Red Cross, which some say has not done enough and at police and firefighters. One group of residents, calling themselves the “Brown Cross,” is patrolling the devastated streets, armed with walkie-talkies, and helping residents clear debris and pump water from their flooded homes.
Unbelievable.
in charge of health care? Hope you don’t need an emergency procedure that isn’t on “the list”.
The residents of Staten Island know what our citizens at the consulate in Benghazi felt like.
