New York Post
February 15, 2008
I could tell this article was full of opinion when I first read the title. The first paragraph played on all of the wrongdoing FEMA had been involved in and focused on an emotional appeal. I don't disagree with the writer at all. I do feel that FEMA neglects their responsibilities and could care less about who they are taking care of sometimes.
The article focused on the fact that FEMA's trailors were poisoned with the deadly gas formaldehyde. FEMA had known about this for sometime. One man that complained to FEMA about the large amount of formaldehyde fumes in his trailor was found dead later. FEMA refused to do anything about the toxin until the disease control center had completed a study on the trailors proving what they already knew.
I thought the article was very informative. I think it could have included some things like where the formaldehyde came from, but it did at least explain what formaldehyde was. I think that it is embarassing to the U.S. to have people like this in charge of the well being of our Katrina victims.

I also read this article and found it very informative. I agree that the author definitely did not like FEMA and brought up their mistakes to the surface. It is horrible that they would neglect deaths and complaints for two years before they would do anything about the situation.
