The mayor of St. Louis said Monday that the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) hasn’t yet provided assistance on the ground—three days after a devastating tornado caused more than $1 billion in damage.
Cara Spencer told MSNBC that the EF3 tornado—which killed at least seven people—has brought out the best in the local response, but the federal side is lacking.
“FEMA has not been on the ground,” she said. “We do not have confirmed assistance from FEMA at this point. I do want to say, however, every other level of government has been on the ground with us helping in every capacity possible.”
