Nov 12, 2012Contributed by SHTFplan.comThough details are scarceand media coverage has been completely restricted by officials, stories of whatvictims of Hurricane Sandy are experiencing at the hands of the FederalEmergency Management Agency in the wake of the storm have begun to emerge.
The few availableimages from these so-called “tent cities” suggest that Camp FEMA isn’t all it’scut out to be, with one resident using some choice words to describe how FEMAand the Red Cross have completely failed at their jobs.…made an announcementthat they were sending us to permanent structures up here that had just beenredone, that had washing machines and hot showers and steady electric, and theysent us to tent city. We got fucked.
Via The Daily SheepleIn other such tent citiesthe conditions are about as bad as you can describe them; on the order ofthird-world refugee camp, or worse:
One reason: the information blackout. Outside ofthe tightly guarded communityon Friday, word was spreading that the Department of Human Services would aimto move residents to the racetrack clubhouse on Saturday.
The news came afterphotos of people bundled in blankets and parkas inside the tents circulated inthe media.
But inside the tent city,which has room for thousands but was only sheltering a couple of hundred onFriday, no one had heard anything about a move – or about anything else.
“They treat uslike we’re prisoners,” says Ashley Sabol, 21, of Seaside Heights, New Jersey.“It’s bad to say, but we honestly feel like we’re in a concentrationcamp.“
Sabol, who is unemployedand whose rental home was washed away in the hurricane, remembers being wokenup on Wednesday at the shelter she was staying in at Toms River High School.Conditions there were “actually fine,” said Sabol.
Sabol was told that shehad half an hour to pack: everyone was getting shipped to hotels in Wildwood,New Jersey, where they would be able to re-acquaint themselves with showers,beds and a door.
Sabol and about 50 otherpeople boarded a New Jersey Transit bus, which drove around, seeminglyaimlessly, for hours. Worse, this week’s Nor’easter snow storm was gatheringforce, lashing the bus with wind and rain.
After four hours, the busdriver pulled into a dirt parking lot. The passengers were expecting a hotel with heat and maybe even arestaurant.
Instead they sawa mini city of portable toilets and voluminous white tents with their flapssnapping in the wind. Inside, they got sheets, a rubbery pillow, a cot and oneblanket.
There was no heatthat night,and as temperatures dropped to freezing, people could start to see theirbreath. The gusts of wind blew snow and slush onto Sabol’s face as her cot wasnear the open tent flaps. She shivered. Her hands turned purple.
It has taken three daysfor the tents to get warm.
Source: ReutersAccess to the facilitieshas been restricted by armed guard.
The same holds true foractivities inside of the facilities, with guards posted around the clock.
The post-storm housing —a refugee camp on the grounds of the Monmouth Park racetrack – is inlockdown, with security guardsat every door, including the showers.
No one is allowedto go anywhere without showing their I.D. Even to use the bathroom, “you have to show your badge,”said Amber Decamp, a 22-year-old whose rental was washed away in SeasideHeights, New Jersey.
The mini city has no cigarettes, no books, no magazines, no boardgames, no TVs, and no newspapers or radios.
On Friday night, in frontof the mess hall, which was serving fried chicken and out-of-the-box,just-add-water potatoes, a child was dancing and dancing — to nothing.
“We’re starting to loseit,” said Decamp. “But we have nowhere else to go.”
In the aftermath of thisdisaster, as well as the Hurricane Katrina debacle, it should be clear wherethe government’s priorities are.
They’ll buy billions of rounds of ammunition and won’t hesitate to put 30,000 drones into the skies over America, butwhen it comes to helping Americans who have lost everything, they are woefullyunprepared.This begs the question, what happened to the hundreds of millions of emergencyrations, emergency blankets and supplies that were supposedly regionalized by the Department of Homeland Securityfully two years ago?Their plan is to completethe supply of fifteen H.S. warehouses around the country in the next threemonths.
Ms. Bylier is quoted assaying “we have worked hard the last six months to meet our local objectives.”She continued “the goals of Homeland Security are in sight.”
It’s difficult to know ifthis is a good or bad omen. No comment was offered as to why this program hasbeen given so much urgency at this time.
It’s nice to know we’reready. But ready for What?
Yes, exactly. Ready forwhat?
This is a limited-scopedisaster that the government and populace knew was coming.
While tragic, theworst-case scenario here is perhaps 50,000 people who can be deemed refugeeswho have lost their homes and belongings. Additionally, another 250,000required short-term assistance like food and water in the immediate aftermath.
If FEMA and DHS areincapable of dealing with an emergency that affects less than 1% of the USpopulation simultaneously, what type of response should the Americanpeople reasonably expect in the event of a sustained wide-scaledisaster?

• What if the New Madrid Fault cracks and causes a high magnitude earthquake across a multi-state region?
• What if a rogue dirty-bomb or nuclear attack forces the evacuation of numerous metropolitan areas all at once?
• What if a Tsunami on the order of Sumatra in 2004 inundates the East or West coast?
• What if a massive solar flare or hackers take down our power grid infrastructure leaving the nation without electricity for weeks or months at a time ?

In all of these scenariostens of millions of Americans would essentially become refugees.
Given the abhorrentresponse by the organization upon which we have been told we can depend in anemergency, the after-effects would be nothing short of Apocalyptic.
A die-off would start immediately after thecollapse. Many would die within a month’s time due to lack of food,clean water and from the spread of disease.The rest will battle for resources as their failure to prepare will leave them with no otherchoice.Here’s the lesson: HELPWILL NOT BE ON THE WAY.
It will be so bad, in fact, that people will be prayingfor shelter in a FEMA concentration camp.http://theintelhub.com/2012/11/12/camp-fema-update-we-feel-like-were-in-a-concentration-camp/
