Being from Orlando and working at Hotels for 10 years total. I saw massive numbers of FEMA and Utility People Mobilized. What a huge outlay of money. FEMA hires a lot of people as temp labor for cleanups while their actual Employees manage them at huge salaries. Everyone gets in on the act, Security Forces, a company I worked for always offered big money for security guards to go to these disasters, they do it cost plus.
Utility companies from several states are also brought in ahead of time and at a cost-plus.
The FEMA temp workers that I encountered were not grade-A people, I'd wager many were felons and some fresh out of prison.
Yeah, that's what I was saying in a verbose obtuse way... Kek
I was offered 19 bucks an hour to work FEMA shifts with a hotel room, food, and as many hours as I wanted to do security, while my normal security when I worked for them was 7.50 an hour. I worked for them a decade later at 10.50 guarding power stations, with Milage over 40 paid at 56 cents a mile, and travel time both ways over 50 miles. 12 hour shifts Fri, Sat, Sun, 14 hour Shifts Mon-Thurs. This wasn't FEMA, it was for the power company who was billed cost +. The more we made the more the security firm made... the 10.50 an hour was average but when you have 80+hours, 12+hours travel time, and your gas paid for it was sweet.
