In their letter they said:
FEMA's mission is to “help people before, during, and after disasters.” When natural disasters overwhelm state and local resources, FEMA is the last resort to help American families rebuild their lives during times of great pain and disruption. It is unacceptable and frankly reprehensible for FEMA officials to withhold aid and assistance from households based on political affiliation. While there are many dedicated public servants working around the clock to help the most vulnerable disaster survivors, FEMA is at the heart of providing disaster relief to all Americans affected by natural disasters. It is clear that the government has largely failed to fulfill its mission.
While we appreciate that your company was quick to denounce these actions and terminate the employees responsible, former employees of your company have since stated that this was not an isolated incident and that Hurricane Helen was a devastating It also claimed to have occurred in western North Carolina after bringing heavy rain and flooding. I've never seen it. The idea that the public who funds FEMA's Disaster Relief Fund (DRF) and pays the salaries of FEMA employees may be intentionally excluded from critically needed assistance is appalling. It further erodes the already tenuous trust many people have in this administration.
We demand answers, accountability, and transparency to hold your agency accountable to the American people and ensure FEMA employees provide assistance to all victims.
They said: “Given the shocking and reprehensible nature of these allegations, our constituents deserve immediate answers and maximum transparency. As members of Congress, we want to hold those responsible. We will hold them accountable and ensure that they are never allowed to be weaponized against the American people.”
