As a professional volunteer between 2017 and 2019, I’ve worked with fema as a member of an americorps group. In the practical sense, fema help asses the disaster situation and signs checks. The money pays for the support efforts are later billed to the state, but are offset by volunteer hours (ALWAYS FULL OUT THE TIMES SHEETS WHEN YOU VOLUNTEER). Most survivers don’t receive support from fema, but rather from the appropriate government and charity groups.

I would have interest in seeing an occult community on Lemmy.
