FEMA pays a certain portion to all victims with like a $700 check. Those figures change as people put in the claims. It’s the way it works. About 2000 homes were burned. It takes time, but they will receive more money. And that’s the congress who signs the check.
There you go again with the pearl casting.
It's way easier to complain when one has no clue how the process works.
The Republicans hold the House, and with Sinema and Manchin they just about control the senate.
It would be nice if somebody up there would make some immigration laws any and all administrations have to follow. But no firm rules allows the parties to beat each other up with every changing POTUS.

Before any immigration reform is even considered, the Democrats must agree to close the border. So far this has proven to be an impossible task to get done.
President Joe Biden’s $12 billion request for disaster aid is expected to grow, as lawmakers push for additional money to rebuild after Hawaii’s destructive wildfires.
Biden faces a tricky path to getting disaster funding from Congress. GOP members are also broadly opposed to emergency funding that is exempt from the spending limits set under the debt limit agreement enacted in June. https://www.eenews.net/articles/bide...s-he-too-late/
The federal government will give money for infrastructure and local government needs.
The individual homeowners will be paid a visit by a FEMA employee who will verify yes, a house was here and the value and what needs repair. Do we want anybody in a disaster area to claim a total loss and get funding without any verification that a house was there?
Which is it?
It takes a couple of days to get the FEMA inspectors called out and onto the disaster site. Then it takes them some time to call on all who apply. They have to locate the homeowner and meet with them. So close to the water I suspect many have FEMA federally subsidized flood insurance.

Immigration reform is just a code term for amnesty. Never, ever again!
The the Federal Emergency Management Agency sounds like the Federal Emergency Migrant Agency, thanks to President Biden.
I can't believe how the residens of Maui are being treated because FEMA seems to have very little money left because Joe Biden used FEMA to house migrants in luxury in the some of the wealthiest parts of NYC.
Joe Biden's FEMA has spent so much money on making sure migrants have a luxurious welcome that since there has not been a supplemental approved, the residents of Maui have only been allocated a tiny 1.6 million dollars for housing for thousands and thousands who have been left homeless and a one-time $700 payment.
FEMA has given New York City and Boston so much to house migrants in luxury that so far and without an supplemental spending package they can only provide 1.6 million so far to house those who are left homeless in Maui.
Many migrants in New York City are in four-star hotels in the ultra-luxurious parts of the city while residents of Maui left homeless get $700 to start over and only 1.6 million dollars allocated to those who are now homeless.
The country was lost on November 3, 2020 - forever (perhaps). People "voted" for an open border and America last. It is what it is, and other than rambling on these boards or on Twitter there's nothing I, or anyone else, can do about it.

Lol - I was a contractor for Fema in hurricane Wilma. Operation Blue Roof. Because of that I ended up getting an inside job with DHS. It kick started a career change. Soo tell me again…

Could you please tell me what open borders really means?
What is the current penalty for illegally entering the USA?
Does anybody who enters illegally expect to get caught and returned? How many are deported annually.
I'm really confused. The governor of Texas has spent 10 billion taxpayers dollars on the border.
Yet we are told that 1/2 the construction workers in Texas are illegal. How can that be? If any roofing contractor or framing contractor can find illegals why can't the state or the feds find them and deport them?
If I'm sitting in Central America and never seeing anybody sent back, why not enter the USA illegally?
So, maybe Abbott should stop sending busloads of migrants to NY, because he is sending them to live in luxury...
A lot of people are coming here because of stories of luxury with swimming pools and free food and free shelter.
Send them to the sanctuary cities and states that encourage it. I know someone in a border town. They're overwhelmed with a much higher ratio than NYC.
