FEMA Is Almost Out of Money and Hurricane Irma Is Approaching - Bloomberg
'Irma comes after Hurricane Harvey, which smashed ashore in Texas Aug. 25 causing widespread damage, power outages and flooding and taking almost a fifth of U.S. oil refining capacity offline. '
'But without more money, Zimmerman said, the agency will be hard-pressed to deal with what’s coming. '
'The agency would be out of funds just as Irma, a category 5 hurricane, might start thrashing the coast of Florida. '
'And of that, just $541 million was "immediately available" for response and recovery efforts related to Hurricane Harvey, according to a spokeswoman for FEMA who asked not to be identified by name. '
'In the meantime, FEMA has restricted spending to what it calls "immediate needs" -- what it calls "lifesaving, life-sustaining response efforts" for Harvey and Irma. '
