FEMA Katrina

passin thru

Well-known member
Last weekend FEMA, the City of Austin, and the Texas Workforce Commission set up a job training/hiring, interview job fair for Katrina evacuees to be held at the ACC campus on Webberville Rd. in East Austin. Evacuees complained that they did not have transportation so the city of Austin and FEMA provided transportation. Twelve buses and vans ran from four locations in Round Rock and five locations in Austin. The vehicles were brought to their residents. Drivers knocked on their doors and did everything possible to reach potential job seekers. At the end of the day, the twelve vans and buses transported a total of one person. Not one person per bus.............. one person. The cost to FEMA was $7000.00.

FEMA does not have a problem taking care of them in other areas. But they do not want them returning to the Gateway. They want to keep that land. If FEMA waits long enough evacuees will have relocated and set up house some where else. That is what the evacuees are angry about. They want to go back to New Orleans.

If these folks are so darned desperate to return to a city builty BELOW SEA LEVEL, I say "let them".......just do not expect the tax payers of the US to bail you out next time a hurricane hits...you know the risks, so quit your whining!!!!! :!: :!: :!:

I'm not disagreeing with you on this issue. But the tax dollar rebuilds Flordia almost every year. For the first time New Orleans gets hit and they get squashed but Flordia reaps every year on hurricane season. Same people rebuild every year. FEMA don't hold out on them!

All federal taxes to be with held via the constitution is to be used only for paying US debts and welfare to it's people.


SO what is the difference????

Honestly.....there are some places on the planet that people SHOULD NOT live and New Orleans is one of them.

It's basically living in the bowl of a toilet and when it flushed, Katrina, the water from the tank rushed into the bowl.

I LOVED New Orleans...being from the South....you just do and it's/was a fun city.....but never should have spread out onto the delta like it did. STUPID!

Great pic Hanta!

For those who want to go back, get off your butt and start walking. It might take a few days, but I'll bet the newspapers would get behind it and there would be good folks who would help out, all along the way, with food and shelter at night and anyone who had enough gumption to do it, would win many converts and I personally would be glad to send money then. I'm danged if I'll send money to help people who won't try and help themselves.

Don't just set and whine, do something to help yourselves!

The following information has been excerpted from Weather as a Force Multiplier: Owning the Weather in 2025.



"Technology advancements in five major areas are necessary for an integrated weather-modification capability: (1) advanced nonlinear modeling techniques, (2) computational capability, (3) information gathering and transmission, (4) a global sensor array, and (5) weather intervention techniques. Some intervention tools exist today and others may be developed and refined in the future."
Project 2025, Weather as a Force Multiplier: Owning the Weather in 2025, US Air Force, 1996, pg. vi

"Current technologies that will mature over the next 30 years will offer anyone who has the necessary resources the ability to modify weather patterns and their corresponding effects, at least on the local scale. Current demographic, economic, and environmental trends will create global stresses that provide the impetus necessary for many countries or groups to turn this weather-modification ability into a capability.

In the United States, weather-modification will likely become a part of national security policy with both domestic and international applications."
Project 2025, Weather as a Force Multiplier: Owning the Weather in 2025, US Air Force, 1996, pg vii

"People have always wanted to be able to do something about the weather. In the US, as early as 1839, newspaper archives tell of people with serious and creative ideas on how to make rain. In 1957, the president’s advisory committee on weather control explicitly recognized the military potential of weather modification, warning in their report that it could become a more important weapon than the atom bomb."
Project 2025, Weather as a Force Multiplier: Owning the Weather in 2025, US Air Force, 1996, pg 3
