FEMA aid for storm paid for too many funerals, figures show

Florida officially recorded 123 fatalities from last year’s hurricanes, but the federal government has paid funeral expenses for at least 315 deaths, including those of a man who shot himself and a stroke victim hospitalized more than a week before the last storm hit.

FEMA has two disaster inspection contractors. Both are listed in the National Field Service Directory at www.sofistore.com
