How is Bushco's FEMA Most Likely to Fail YOU?
Which disaster do you think is most likely to bungle in YOUR neck of the woods?

Hurricane?

Tsunami?

Earthquake?

Flood?

Other...?

5. They will not tell us to stay home when the killer flu arrives

They'll pretend the flu outbreak is contained elsewhere.

3. Hurricane...
Edited on Fri Sep-02-05 02:45 PM by tk2kewl
but thankfully he hasn't bankrupted me yet, so I should be able to successfully evacuate in advance. But as in NOLA there are some pretty poor communities in the flood zones of L.I. Thankfully, we don't face the same probability of disaster or the same flood threats after a storm passes.

info about the hurricane threat to NYC and L.I. here...

13. This is scaring the shit out of me
I live in Brooklyn very close to a coastal evacuation route...yeah, it's rare, but with the increase in global warming we could well get hit by a hurricane and be fucked.

Thankfully the city seems (for once!) to be on the ball with this. But living in a coastal area this is really scaring the shit out of me. Especially since it's mostly black folks living around here!

4. I live in a Chicago suburb and work in the tallest building in Chicago
Most likely, FEMA will fail me after a terrrosit WMD attack.
