anyone a FEMA inspector?
after mentioning I might be interested to a friend that is a manager with FEMA, I get a call today asking for my information. It seems my friend registered me to be a FEMA inspector without telling me. I was given an employee number and will be receiving deployment info soon. Has anyone here had any experience as an inspector? I was told I would be sent to Houston soon. Not sure if I am really wanting to go. I know these guys make large money, but.... anyone have any experience with this?

Wow, they must have a shortage of people if you get hired that quickly.
I would also think working for FEMA wouldn't be a very popular post these days. |

$45 a house, 15 or so minutes each from what I hear. you can make some quick money. one FEMA guy sat here at the wine shop drinking wine for a week was getting $450 a day just for taking info whether he worked or not. my friend sits at home as a manager and makes $1000 a day. I'm undecided whether I want to do it or not. I like being home every night. people like the inspectors. they're the ones that get them checks for damages.

after... it was a clusterf*ck around here. they would drive to Houma(40 miles away) and no electricity, the next day, no computers, and the next, same thing. then later the whole crew was sent to Thibodaux where they were met by 50 more FEMA people and sent home again. The last time I saw the guy, he sat here the entire day getting drunk. I haven't seen him in a few day so I guess they finally found something for him to do. a few inspectors I've met recently would work half the day and come home. this would bore me! when I go to work, I want to have something to do

I would want to work 12 hours a day also. that's what I normally do, if not more. they just couldn't seem to get things together around here for a while, by no fault of their own..

Johnco, here in Baton Rouge I think there is more FEMA than residents. From what I have seen, which i am sure isn't representative from most of FEMA, these guys don't really do a whole lot. They are keeping the eateries and hotels busy, and contributing greatly to our traffic snafu's.

there's a bunch here also. we've found housing for a few and helped find them offices. I'm still thinking about the job. if you work at it, you can make $16-20,000 in a 21 day deployment. that's not too shabby. My work runs out this time of year anyway. I might give it a go.
