Rep. Judy Chu (D-Calif.), whose district has been damaged by the Eaton Fire, criticized FEMA for reportedly rejecting disaster assistance claims because of a lack of insurance information. “I am hearing about frustrations with FEMA because they have done what we asked, which is to sign up on the disasterassistance.gov site, and then some of them have gotten denied approvals or non-approvals,” Chu said about her constituents in an interview on NewsNation’s “The Hill” on Tuesday. In the interview, Chu sought to reassure her constituents that FEMA does, in fact, have the resources to help them, and she encouraged residents to continue trying to get the help they need. “What we want to say to them is that FEMA does have the resources to help them and that sometimes they may not have all the insurance information, and so they’ll get that message, but to keep on going,” Chu said. Chu encouraged constituents to call FEMA directly if their claims get denied or to go to the newly opened disaster resource center at Pasadena City College to “ask what is going on with their application.”
