Frustrated: Fire crews to hand out fliers for FEMA | By Lisa Rosetta | The Salt Lake Tribune

Instead, they have learned they are going to be community-relations officers for FEMA, shuffled throughout the Gulf Coast region to disseminate fliers and a phone number: 1-800-621-FEMA.

Federal officials are unapologetic.
