Subject: [MBZ] You Can Bruise City Hall
Filed an FOIA request with FEMA a year ago May to get additional
documentation on my property relative to flood maps. Got a confirmation
letter within a few days afterwards, outlining the statutory requirement
for them to respond to me within 20 business days.
Fully expecting they would not respond in the time allotted, I let it go,
and they didn’t.
However, by last December I was wondering what was going on, so I emailed
the contact they gave me along with all the identifying information from
my request.
< crickets >
So, May rolls around and I figure I should rattle their cage again, now
that it’s been a year, and I do so via email.
< crickets >
So Sunday I took a few minutes and contacted the office of Dennis Ross,
our Congressional representative. I got a response on Tuesday asking me
to fill out a privacy form so they could inquire of FEMA on my behalf. I
haven’t returned it to them yet.
Come home today, and there’s a cryptic voice mail “about my case, and we’ll
email you” on the phone. Hmm.
Check my email, and whaddya know! A response from FEMA, apologizing for
the delay and explaining while they can’t give my request priority, it is
now in the “pending queue” and should be reviewed and completed within a
week.
I replied back, thanking them, and pointing out that had they bothered to
acknowledge either of my previous efforts to contact them I wouldn’t have
had to resort to getting my congressman involved….
