Where's FEMA?? Busy Raking?




CHICO, Calif. -- The days appear to be numbered at a makeshift camp in a Walmart parking lot in Chico, where dozens of evacuees from the Camp Fire have been told it's time to leave, reports CBS San Francisco.

Co-organizer Luigi Balsamo said the Red Cross has told them to shut everything down by 1 p.m. Sunday, when the donation bins and portable bathrooms will be removed. The Red Cross told CBS San Francisco that Walmart asked the evacuees to leave and that the charity was at the camp to make people aware of their shelters in the area.

"We need a clear exit strategy," Balsamo said. It has evacuee Carol Whiteburn in a panic: "They're taking everything on Sunday -- the bathrooms, the lights, everything. I don't know what we are going to do."

It's a crisis shared by more than 100 people in the camp.

Emergency officials say they're aware of it, but federal assistance isn't available yet.

The Federal Emergency Management Agency disaster recovery center being set up in an old Sears store won't even be open until Friday and even then, temporary housing options aren't in place.

He is aware enough to realize he was talking about himself. His day is so filled with talking about himself he doesn't know what he is saying. It's just ME ME ME.
