Iberia Parish FEMA Appeal

The Daily Iberian reports:

Iberia Parish will file an appeal to FEMA for opting not to pay for workers to go onto private properties and remove large, fallen trees that were caused by hurricanes Gustav and Ike.

At Wednesday’s Iberia Parish Council meeting, Councilman Naray Hulin said the director of debris pickup for FEMA initially said the agency would pay for the service for residents like the elderly who are not able to remove it themselves. FEMA has since denied that specific service.
