    Sharyl Attkisson Retweeted CLAUDIA THE DEPLORABLE DREG

    Apparently FEMA rules won't let them bury without a lot of red tape. A Congressional committee is going to try to help them cut past that red tape.https://twitter.com/claudiascompan1/status/915748898827833344 …

        Hazard Mitigation Grant Program from FEMA is to bury electric lines. Grants have to be applied. FEMA provides some monies to repair...

        Burying cable cost 10X more than poles.

        The downside of burying power lines is when there is flooding, it takes down power as well. So both options have drawbacks.

        Not dissing FEMA, but isn't it their job to fix what's there, not make improvements? Wouldn't that be on the local government?

        One would think that this would be the better alternative, but thanks for answering me. Why this takes a committee is sooooo governmental !

        I always wondered why they didn't do that here in Joplin 6 years ago. I guess I know the answer now.

        Cost analyze effects of total power outage in areas prone to hurricane / tropical storm damage to see if installation costs worth bearing.
