FEMA: Strangling people with red tape

I read a certain message board - not a political one. One of the people who frequent that board has a friend who lives in Joplin. He lost everything in the tornado.
He met with a FEMA adjuster yesterday who walked through the house and said everything is a total loss. Now the dumb part. He has to apply for a loan first. He will be turned down due to his income then he can apply to FEMA for emergency funds because he doesn't have enough money to get the loan. What a ridiculous process. Why can't someone just skip the loan app and apply directly for the funds you may qualify for.

And someone else responded:
This happened to many of my friends affected by Hurricane Charlie when it went through Florida. As it turned out, a friend with the least damage of all got his money first. He and his family weren't even displaced from their home.
