Live Video Nurse Home Flooded Fema Won't let people with boats help

Families in there are saying FEMA has refused and turned away help of people with boats. They said there was NO FOOD and NO MEDICINE.

Why in the world is FEMA blocking citizen assistance when they cannot be everywhere that is flooded???

Just did a wheelchair rescue because family member was there and accepted the help. Anchorwoman said she is gonna get some answers and has contacted a fleet of boats, just has to find a way to get them to Port Arthur. There was a tiny old man in bed in hall that may not even still be alive. Water is up to the beds. Nursing home had no plan in place. Our most vulnerable, in a flood nursing home. smfh

That's just horrific!

How about they stop with the rescues of some of these able bodied people being carried on some rescuers back and help those who are not capable of helping themselves?

I suppose I can understand the concern of boats in such dangerous waters but if there are some willing to accept the risk I can not understand why they would not be allowed to at least attempt a rescue. Time is running out for those truly in need.

We're not gonna throw grandma n grandpa under the bus !!!
