Staten Island Residents Furious Over Slow Sandy Response
|
Staten island residents say that they’ve been largely overlooked by those directing post-Sandy response efforts. Full story: It’s been days since Hurricane Sandy lashed the East Coast, and residents of Staten Island, one of the harder hit areas, say they’ve been forgotten in the recovery efforts. [Colleen Wood, Resident, Staten Island]: “Nobody came here. Nobody came. We called the insurance company, they said it’s going to be days for anybody to come down. So FEMA is supposed to come and help, hopefully, just the house and see what the government can help.” Many in this neighborhood on the south shore are without power and water. Some have lost their homes. Most such as Richard Fox are dealing with massive damages. More galling is the other stuff they’ve had to handle with almost no help. [Richard Fox, Resident, Staten Island]: “I found two bodies here yesterday—two senior citizens who live in Harbor Court Residence right here,” “So, he was 89, she was 65. They couldn’t make it out in time.” Some in this area say New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg has ignored the primarily blue collar neighborhood directly across the harbor from Manhattan. [John Maitland, Resident, Staten Island]: “I know my mayor, who I voted for personally, who extended his term limits doesn’t even have the fortitude to come down to Staten Island to cover it.

Whistler Blowers, Insiders
People aren’t paying attention because with each disaster FEMA is doing less and less. In 2008 when Hurricane Ike passed through the Gulf states on up the east coast the only thing FEMA did was gave people blue tarps to cover their homes and a few MREs. FEMA flatly told homeowners their insurance should take care of their damage and if they didn’t have any it was nothing they could do for them. To show how trifling FEMA was doing the cleanup they didn’t pay the contractors helping them leaving many of them stranded far from home. So my question is why are people surprised FEMA’s not doing anything?
