—Following is a reply from USAR to a fact-check email that I sent them in which I quoted this post.
"I’m not sure where this information came from, but it is pretty far form the truth."
"We had practically no contact with FEMA whatsoever during our 6 days in Louisiana, and the limited contact we did have was all above board. The incident with the ’flying tent’ was the result of an Army Chinook leaving the landing zone a little too quickly, which resulted in our tent being blown about 30’ sideways. The crew chief & captain apologized to me upon their next drop-off and altered their lift off pattern accordingly."
"I realize there has been an incredible amount of bad press toward FEMA however, I would like clarify our relations with them were all professional."
