<<<Have you ever lived in an area that received federal emergency assistance?”>>>>

Oh how I object to the federal assistance for emergency purpose. How can one justify giving moneys to hurricane victims in Florida and not helping the people of North Dakota during a blizzard. As you say, it becomes the loudest voice that receives the compensation. It is impossible to be fair in all these matters. The only way to be fair is to help no one, as the Constitution does not allow it. If someone wants to send aid to a flood victim in an area let them do it. If the state wants to help people within there state so be it, but the federal government has no business doing it. People will think I am hardhearted but I am not interested in paying for the beachfront homes that are destroyed by floodtides. If people want to have the advantage of a beachfront property let them pay for it and take the risks.
Just my humble thoughts.
