Fema said they might need some money

It's funny AF and a solution. But for real, from a Federal budget perspective why can't this happen? Asking generally.
Good question. Also, the states constantly get on TV when disasters happen and talk about how they'll need federal government help. I'm inclined at times to offer thoughts and prayers.
Just some numbers to give an idea:
(Numbers might be off a tad)
In 2023, FEMA responded to more than 100 disasters. Survivors received more than $1.3 billion to jumpstart their recovery, with communities and states receiving nearly $12 billion to rebuild infrastructure damaged by disasters.
Grant funding will help these communities become more resilient and more prepared for disasters. In 2023, FEMA provided:
Since the Russian invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, the United States has committed approximately $56.3 billion in security assistance to Ukraine though both presidential drawdown authority and the Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative.Sep 26, 2024

Grant funding will help these communities become more resilient and more prepared for disasters. In 2023, FEMA provided:
- $3 billion in grants for climate-resilient communities.
- $350 million for the Nonprofit Security Grant Program, resulting in a 50 percent increase in applications.
- $18 million through a new Tribal Cybersecurity Grant Program.

Purchasing and maintaining home insurance should be mandatory to buy/own a home.
It's mandatory to buy and drive a car (most states), so why not for homeownership?
Mofos buy property in natural disaster prone areas then something happens and they lose everything with no ability to be made whole.
Renter insurance should be mandatory for renters. It's generally about 10-20.00 a month.
That's a start.
Tell em they need money for bombs and then they’ll get that funding quick.
Congress: “What does FEMA bombs for?”
FEMA: “To blow up these hurricanes and protect democracy of course.”
Congress: ”Done!”

Thank you for posting this
Wow I thought home insurance was mandatory when buying a house.
Every house I’ve purchased I had to show proof of home insurance.
I know renters insurance is optional and a lot of people don’t get it (which I don’t understand), but I guess some states don’t require it?
Only home lenders require insurance (mainly to cover their asses) if you buy the house outright, you are not required to have insurance.
Homeowners is generally mandatory if buying with a mortgage cause lender mandates it. Cash buyers or frer and clear (inherited) can do what they want. Also there are time gaps when a person lapses and a natural disaster could occur then.
I know FLA has a state insurance fund that will bailout insureds whose insurance company goes bankrupt. It is funded by insurance companies. But what if you don't have insurance?
Every homeowner pays taxes....maybe they should pay into a separate disaster fund so all homeowners have access to funds in the event.
We sort of got that system already set up through our taxes. This is what funds FEMA. Now they need to put more of that tax money towards FEMA because these natural disasters are becoming more and more common.
All this dude care about is United States attack Iran, he wants this to happen. Carolina Souf probably ain’t in his worries
“Lindsay Graham talking about Israel while being questioned about the catastrophe in his own state perfectly sums up how the U.S. government “cares” for its citizens.
Our politicians are so focused on foreign issues because of the money and power that is involved in it that they’re letting their own states drown, literally”
