Are you guys serious? These are mobile relief sites that are a structural risk in a storm with 60 mph winds. They will reopen as soon as the storm passes. So you guys would rather they keep the centers open and put the relief workers at risk? So then we have more people needing help and less resources to help them? Great idea.
This doesn't look like a mobile relief site to me.
Well, it's at a school (notice the "school hours" in the pic), which obviously makes it a temp relief site. You think FEMA should risk relief workers and supplies by having them remain in a building to ride out a second storm rather than closing for less than 24 hours and moving the people and supplies to a safe location? It seems like common sense to me that you don't want to further hamper the relief efforts by putting valuable resources at risk.
Those poor folks on Staten Island expected Big Bro to come save the day. Well they are closed now and those folks are running around with no underpants.
Where are all those FEMA trailers ? Didn't they buy boatloads after Katrina ?
Hopefully they didn't just park them in an exposed lot and then ignored them for years.
I remember reading the government auctioned em off for pennies on the dollar. 120K of em. Tainted with formaldehyde and mold probably probably ending up to be resold or rented out for folks to live in. Yes they really care about the poor and middle class. Thats after spending a quarter billion to pay rent to store em to some buddy of somebody in the government most likely.

60mph wind gusts aren't gonna blow down a school . They didn't move anything. They just closed up shop.
Maybe you should read the article. People have to go to the FEMA office to get assistance. FEMA folks aren't out "responding" they are sitting around waiting for folks to come in to respond to apparently.
"With another storm hitting New Jersey, Jersey City Mayor Jerramiah Healy announced that the FEMA disaster recovery center will open on Thursday from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. after being closed Wednesday due to the nor'easter. "We have been working closely with FEMA during the storm and its aftermath and asked that an office be opened here in Jersey City so that residents would not have to travel far to get the assistance they need," Healy said"
This photo is of a FEMA recovery center where folks go to to fill out forms for help with the recovery efforts. This is not a center for rescue. Nor is it a shelter. Do you want folks going out in the middle of a damaging storm to fill out forms for help with rebuilding? Lets get real here folks!
No I think it's ridiculous and you folks sit here and defend it. Well um well that's not FEMA's job and on and on. They closed up shop and left folks stranded. These are the folks who are supposed to be helping the folks who are stranded and you see nothing wrong with that?
Most people with at least 1/2 of a brain know it's wrong to keep any place open during a storm. Doesn't the OP suppose FEMA people are out on the streets helping people? I guess that reality is too hard to grasp, isn't it?

"get the assistance they need"
So they get no underpants.
