The Federal Emergency Management Agency is responsible for coordinating disaster responses.
In recent months, it has become clear that behind the scenes agents are like disasters themselves, prioritizing “fairness” as a strategic goal. While American citizens struggled, they blew hundreds of millions of dollars into emergency food and shelter programs for illegal aliens. It is said that tens of millions of dollars were given to luxury hotels to accommodate illegal aliens. It reportedly denied assistance to Americans based on political affiliation. Disaster relief.
a Recent Reports The Department of Homeland Security inspector's office reveals that the agency's mismanagement of funding and resources under Biden-appointed FEMA administrator Deanne Criswell is worse than previously imagined. did.
General Joseph Cafari is not among the IGs that President Donald Trump has fired so far, but has been urgently nearly $10 billion in Covid-19 emergency protection measures from 2020 to 2023, according to an inspector at the DHS. Protective measures have been ordered.
The January 30 report showed that FEMA waste is part of an agency that “does not comply with established requirements when providing public assistance funds.” For example, regarding medical staff grants, “FEMA did not examine the rationality of the cost estimates provided by the state before requiring funding.”
FEMA must assess the rationality of estimated costs by reviewing historical documents, using average area costs, and relying on publicly available cost estimation services. However, the report argued that during the pandemic, agents did not troubled proper verification and instead relied on “an itemized, costless sheet of paper.” If you approve grants worth more than $1.1 billion.
“FEMA has no funds after a season.”
“Insufficient verification of the pre-privilege costs of FEMA's state health staffing project contributed to $1.5 billion in funding that could have been placed for better use,” the report states . “If $1.5 billion had not been over-declared for this project, it could have been transferred to the Disaster Relief Fund and made available to fund other disasters.”
The inspector further noted that he would not mind verifying the costs submitted for refunds for completed projects before narrowing down taxpayer money.
An analyst at IG's office said, “It appears they have selected a random sample of 20 large projects totaling $58 million from the world of 8,420 projects ranging from $131,100 to $100. They ultimately said Six of the 20 completed projects, which cost around $33 million, found that they lacked the necessary documentation to verify “work and actual costs incurred prior to the project award and refund.”
FEMA officials clearly throw money without properly checking whether the service is being offered to eligible participants, whether the work is actually being done, and whether everyone is doing them. It was there.
The agency's obvious difficulties have resulted in a $8.1 billion expenditure that inspectors are currently questioning by properly reviewing funds in a single state that OIG did not name in the report. .
Former Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas appealed on September 30, “FEMA lacks the funds to accomplish it throughout the season, so what is imminent?”
It appears that accidental approvals and other forms of mismanagement of projects have emptyed the institution's financial resources and put Americans at risk.
