David Passey People Quotations

We're not setting a deadline. The process is ongoing. We will continue to work with the people until we can satisfy all the disaster housing needs we can.

The state will select an appropriate burial site for the people who are not immediately identified. Our primary concern is for the dignity of the deceased.

The whole goal of the disaster-assistance program is to give people a start, but it was never meant to address all of one's needs.

We can start moving units in, but in order for people to operate them we have to secure a site that has the appropriate infrastructure that has electricity, water and wastewater services.

We are trying to do everything we can, but obviously there have been unprecedented needs here. I'm not aware of any specific needs that these people have that are not being met, but we are trying to give them face-to-face time to take care of their immediate needs. It's obviously a tough situation.
