It was the first level class and consisted
of a very interesting lecture on how FEMA works so that everyone would know how
to report in, who to report to, and what to do if you had a question, etc.
There were over a thousand people there, and everyone stayed to the end. It was
extremely interesting and left me with a new respect for FEMA, which you would
never get from the mainstream media. I hope to sign up for further higher
level classes in the future. Once you fill out the required police-check form and
the form with your personal information you are entered into the data base, and
anytime there is a need they can contact you to see if you want to help
somewhere. See http://www.fema.gov/index2.shtm.

[EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Kevin Deegan What did the FEMA training consist of? Judy and Terry, I guess I’m having a senior moment
because I don’t remember reading or sending such article. I can
only say that I was horrified that those people were kept locked inside (and
later outside) the Astrodome like animals! It was criminal! They used the
floors for bathrooms because the facilities were broken and overflowing! They
had no place else to go. Soft drinks and cookies until they arrived in Yes, many of the people in that crowd were
nothing but criminals—absolutely. All the more reason that the
innocent suffered like trapped animals. I’ve never been so upset
about anything in a long time, and if I had been there I would be suing the
Gov. of Louisiana who refused to allow the Red Cross and others to bring help
to those people because she said the Astrodome was too full and she
didn’t want to attract more people there. I would also be suing the
Mayor of New Orleans who failed to order the mandatory evacuations plan which
had been in place for 12 years, and allowed hundreds of busses to be flooded
rather than allow people to take them to evacuate those who could not get out
any other way. Yes, there are those with the Welfare
mentality who can’t be given enough and only complain and whine and play
the victim. There are those, like the church group that showed up to view
“The Passion” one evening when my husband and I attended it in the
city, who are living pigs—they left the place totally trashed in just one
movie’s time! I am hopeful that at least some who have never even
experienced a different culture will get that opportunity due to being
displaced due to the hurricane. Maybe there will be a silver lining. I am also sorry that the thousands that we
have worked to prepare nice shelters for here in Izzy From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Behalf Of Judy Taylor I must have missed the letter from the
doctor at the Astrodome, do you still have it Izzy cause I'd like
to see it? I figure a lot of it was anger taken out on the astrodome and those who
were trying to help them. I've heard a lot of talk about the culture of
poverty that Welfare States encourage and Good manners must be taught and an
attitude of gratitude is to be coveted. They weren't all like that though, there
were some christians though they may have been the minority. I saw the
sweetest old lady on TV who had become separated from and was looking for her
autistic son. She said that when they were waiting for the busses outside the
Astrodome that ppl were pushing and acting up and that this would get him
all upset - then she asked ppl to please get down on their knees and pray for her
son. Someone in this woman home and said she was too
much of a lady to be at the shelter ... God has a ppl.... On Wed, 14 Sep 2005 13:06:38 -0500 Terry __________________________________________________ |
