Fema now requires disaster victims to have an email address

Changes to the subscription to the survivors were made inside program The agency uses disaster aid applications and pushing survivors, known as the National Emergency Management Information System (NEMIS). The current Fema and former Fema employees have told WAID that, while they have great concerns about requesting an email address to register for aid, they believe the system needs technical reform. (“It is an old system at all that is disrupted daily,” he told a former worker in Fema who worked with Nemis Wire.)

The agency officials have publicly expressed the need to update the way the disaster aid reaches the survivors. Former Acting Director Cameron Hamilton Described Some of the agency’s goals during a certificate before the House of Representatives Control Committee in May.

“The idea (is) that when you ask for a domaino pizza, you know when it was requested, and when it goes to the oven, when it comes out of the oven, when it is ready to meet and slides and in a box. However, we do not have the same level of approach towards directing and directing the process of progress for general assistance or individual assistance.” “We have individual survivors waiting for weeks for responses, sometimes months before they get batches, who suffer from a large financial strait.” (He was Hamilton It was launched from the agency A day after this certificate.) Twelve days after Hamilton’s testimony, the new official, David Richardson, met with members of Dog to discuss the new disaster information portal system, according to the WIREC calendar information.

According to the update document, Fema presented the new “tracker” in June to a survivor gate on a federal website to help with disasters, which includes instructions on the types of documents needed to meet the verification requirements in addition to “visible representation of progress through the FEMA”.

Although it agreed that the agency’s technical systems need to be updated, the current Fema and previous WIRED employees told that they are concerned that excluding people without sentences in bulk of the application process may leave those who may need the greatest help. Meanwhile, saving information and payment may be exclusively through a confusing online gate even for people with emails – especially, the Fema factor, for the elderly.

They say: “Email is already a major obstacle for many survivors, especially the elderly.” “They must use an email to create a profile on Disasterassistance.gov, and this is where their correspondence exists. They receive an email that teaches them that they have a new letter, but the actual message is within their personal file on the Internet. They must do all these investigations to reach it, and that it is too much for many people.

The changes come amid a broader batch of the agency to change aid after disasters from the federal government to the state. As wireless I mentioned in MayAnd the agency has planned the scan from the door to the door to the survivors this summer. Fema workers are concerned about what might mean more obstacles that should help the needy.

“End the chaos from door to door and asks for the e -mail to register are definitely trends in a disturbing pattern of changes by the Trump administration that abandons the members of the most vulnerable societies after a disaster,” Fema employees told Wire.
