I hate to be a whiner, but I’m so tired of public funds going to religious organizations, even if they are charities. Is there no organization in the private sector that could provide emergency services? My fellow atheists, it does not get more religious than Catholic Charities. They are the 900 pound gorilla, and the 800 pound gorilla too. Yet they still get my tax dollars to provide emergency services in the event of a disaster.
The expansive contract calls for CCUSA to organize national, regional and local teams and to work in partnership with these teams to help ensure disaster case management preparedness and delivery. Acting as General Contractor, CCUSA will pre-identify local/regional volunteers and sub-contractors, enter into agreement with them, provide training and experience in disaster case management, and be ready to deploy and implement anywhere in the country within 72 hours of a FEMA designated disaster.
So… do they get to pass out bibles too?
