Idiots in Government: FEMA issues relief checks to Superstorm Sandy victims after five years

Many victims of the last massive storm to swamp the U.S., 2012’s Superstorm Sandy, are still waiting for their government checks — raising questions about Federal Emergency Management Agency’s ability to dole out financial relief in the oncoming Harvey-Irma onslaught.

“I received my check the second week of August so that is the process that will happen to everyone in Houston and everyone in Florida. It was a five-year wait for us to receive our money,” said Claudette D’Arrigo from Highlands, New Jersey, whose home had seven feet of standing water after Sandy.
Her check came from FEMA’s flood insurance program, which is a national backstop to provide coverage in areas where the private industry is wary of offering policies, saying the risks are too great.
The already-burdened flood program is about to face a slew of new claims in the wake of Hurricane Harvey, which slammed southeastern Texas last month, and Hurricane Irma, which blasted Florida this week.
“FEMA is not effectively handling Sandy from five years before — to think how they’re going to effectively handle victims from Harvey and Irma is mind boggling,” said Augie Matteis, managing partner of Weisbrod Matteis & Copley, which handles disaster relief claims.
