Once the storm has past, Federal agencies do get involved. They do not want everyone to rush down to give aid, it would create anarchy and dangerous situations. That is the same that applies with state agency runned efforts. > > "It's kind of sad people are being turned away, the > minute they go into a federal situation, they just > can't get in there," he said.
