Once Again…

FEMA is not an agency concerned with your well being. They are command and control; nothing more.

The Federal Emergency Management Agency prohibits journalists from having unsupervised interviews with Hurricane Katrina victims who have been relocated to FEMA trailer parks, according to a report in the Baton Rouge Advocate (7/15/06).

“If a resident invites the media to the trailer, they have to be escorted by a FEMA representative who sits in on the interview,” FEMA spokesperson Rachel Rodi is quoted in the article. “That’s just a policy.”

UPDATE: It seems that they’ve changed their minds.

I’m still not happy about having to have press credentials to get in. It just doesn’t sit well with me.
