No FEMA Officials Reported in Mississippi

HeadlineSep 02, 2005

FEMA has also been widely criticized in Mississippi where some towns are still waiting for federal aid to arrive. Lakeshore, Mississippi resident James Gibson said “There’s no FEMA. No Red Cross. No help. People are sick. The water is like toxic gumbo. We’re the forgotten little town that got blown away.” The state of Mississippi is reporting that there is a 50 mile stretch of coastline where 90 percent of the structures are destroyed.
