Where's FEMA?

Where is the federal help for Ms, Al and Ga tornadoe's this weekend?

The Pres offered his condolences? WTF

Good question! I guess the governors of the states have to request help? I Googled FEMA tornado relief for Mississippi, Alabama and Georgia and thought I'd found something but it was from a previous outbreak of storms.

Recap 2: Response and Support Efforts for Southern U.S. Tornadoes and Severe Storms

Author: Public Affairs
Since the deadly tornadoes first struck parts of the country earlier this week, the federal government has been in constant contact with all of the impacted states as they responded to and began recovery efforts from these devastating storms.

At the request of the respective governors, FEMA currently has personnel on the ground in Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi, Kentucky and Tennessee, and commodities strategically pre-positioned in the region to support the states.

President Obama joined Administrator Fugate, the Governor and other state and local officials on the ground in Alabama today.

On Sunday, Department of Homeland Security Secretary Napolitano, Housing and Urban Development Secretary Donovan, Agriculture Secretary Vilsack and Small Business Administrator Mills, and Administrator Fugate will travel to Alabama and Mississippi to survey the damage and meet with state and local officials.

Here is the process for getting FEMA assistance.
