FEMA asks to delay hearings on Hurricane Dolly claims lawsuit

December 22, 2008

Federal Emergency Management Agency officials planning to go home for the holidays want a federal judge to delay hearings on a lawsuit filed by 14 families still waiting for home repair assistance since July’s Hurricane Dolly, family attorneys said.

 

Texas Rio Grande Legal Aid says FEMA wants the case delayed until early January even though families have been living in dangerous and substandard conditions for nearly five months.

 

The case was filed Nov. 20 and TRLA had asked for a hearing as “early as possible because these families are still living in damaged homes, or living in other people’s homes,” TRLA spokeswoman Cynthia Martinez said.

 

FEMA spokeswoman Debra Young in Washington said the agency does not comment on pending litigation.
