FEMA wasting ANOTHER VIEW money ention the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) in Florida, and you’re sure to get a vari- M ety of responses. For each person who cheers FEMA for having helped them rebuild after a hurricane, you’re likely to meet one or more who waited too long for help to arrive. According to government auditors, those complainers have a legitimate gripe. The Government Accountability Office (GAO) this month released a report titled “2017 Disaster Contracting: Action Needed to Better Ensure More Effective Use and Management of Advance Contracts.” Translation: FEMA isn’t manag- ing contracts with relief providers very well. FEMA signs advance contracts with companies to provide help after a disaster. It’s a smart way to do things. During the recovery, especially in the first few days, if the agency had to negotiate a bunch of contracts on the fly, it would slow aid delivery and probably cost more. If the deal were sealed in advance, companies could quickly and cost-effectively deliver disaster supplies. HAPPY CORNER At least that’s the theory. The GAO found that in practice it isn’t working well. In 2017, advance contracts locked in $4.5 billion to Hurricanes Irma, Harvey and Maria How safe is the food we eat? as well as California wildfires.
