So I try to do that.
And this morning I was focused on the emergency funding that the Palisades fire.
victims still need in LA.
It's about to run out, so I talked about that a little bit.
there are two things happening.
I mean, one of them is that FEMA has a certain amount of funding.
for a certain degree of time.
And I guess it's established by whatever budget resolution is passed or whatever emergency funding is passed when the disaster happens.
So FEMA gets a certain amount of money and then they distribute it and
They have what are called disaster case managers.
These are personnel who deal with individual household, individual fire victims or fire survivors, whatever you want to call them.
And they are also there for flooding, hurricanes, and they basically help people get on their feet financially using whatever federal aid is available.
Sometimes the federal aid is distributed through charities that apply to distribute the aid or to handle the aid or to provide specific programs.
So Catholic charities are involved.
There's a great group called the Change Reaction in LA which has been involved and they helped a lot of people in Palisades, including myself, by the way.
You know, there's a massive cash crunch after these after these fires.
And so uh they were told at the beginning of the month, last week, that the FEMA money is running out.
And so they're going to cease operations as far as the Palisades and Eton fires are concerned at the end of the month.
And a lot of people are still depending on aid money just to get by.
So there are thousands of people potentially who are going to lose aid money that they need.
