Why the hell are they getting firefighters handing out fliers instead of helping people? They're trained to help people in emergency situations, why not get someone else to hand out the damn fliers and get the firefighters to work rescuing people.

I mean, that just sounds like common sense to me.

Another shining example of what a great organization that FEMA isn't.

Yes, lets use our firefighters to hand out flyers. That's disaster management for ya.

HEY!

With what some of those women were wearing for the heat; don't you want the firemen to know not what to say?

[yes that was sarcasm]

"They've got people here who are search-and-rescue certified, paramedics, haz-mat certified," said a Texas firefighter. "We're sitting in here having a sexual-harassment class while there are still [victims] in Louisiana who haven't been contacted yet."
Yeah, there's a real risk they'll lose their moral bearings and join in the looting and raping. :rolleyes:
