Wow those who say “we got this” obviously are not home owners or single parents or from Florida for that matter. You have failed to realise that government Scott also asked that the individuals who were hit hard by the early June floods be helped in this current Isaac request for Assistance. I alone lost my home to that flood and bank of America has yet to release the insurance check even for clean up. The flood damages are I guarantee is the cause of the west Nile breakouts in escambia county. As for the beach repair..that is the highest attraction to our area. Go back home where
you belong if you don’t support this areas needs. We mtatives who suffer from you taking our jobs can sure use the work.

@ Bob
Maybe one day you will wake up and understand that the beaches aren’t rebuilt simply for the people living on the beach. Pensacola Beach brings in more tax revenues than anywhere else because of tourism. It’s not about those that live there. Without tourism, Pensacola might as well not be on the map, other than NAS. If you honestly believe it’s for those that live there, you’re a moron. Remember when the oil spill happened and this whole area suffered? That’s right, no tourists were coming here. Maybe you can’t see the forest because of the trees, but get the splinter out of your own eye and see the big picture.

@ Safebear
If you mortgage your home, by law you have to have insurance. Actually, the only way to have a home without insurance is if you own it. Which means you have no house payment. And I can assure you, everyone on the beaches around here have homeowners insurance. It’s actually public land that the request was made for, as no one owns land on the beach. You can sign a 99 year lease for a lot, but you’ll never own it.

Get a truck and start hauling sand citizens if you want the beach fixed. That FEMA money needs to be used for people who receive damage from a storm, not to repair what Mother Nature thought needed to be reorganized.

And on that topic – Anyone in a flood zone or on the beach should be required to show proof of insurance on their house/property every year when they pay their taxes just like car insurance. If they can afford to build them fancy houses, they can afford to insure them.

Maybe FEMA has realized that the sand on the beach will replace itself except for the dumb that built right on the water. Enough tax payers money for the stupid!
