The average citizen

I expect that if you ask the “average citizen” what the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) does, the response would be something like, “They deal with disasters.” Likely they have no information about their own state and local emergency management offices.

Then you have a tory about FEMA paying to house illegal immigrants. Which was the accusation made by then Candidate Trump when North Carolina got hammered by a hurricane. So, is FEMA once again “illegally” diverting disaster funds to fund the housing of immigrants? No, it is not illegal if “I’m doing” seems to be the response.  See this article on the topic.

As one reader commented about the story, this type of information will only further confuse people about FEMA and its missions.
