Nor was FEMA, or at least its "FEMA Tech Corps".

And the incredible civic hackers who started w/ Harvey and are STILL at work now as Nate makes landfall? The big tech companies couldn't make time or money to give them a hand. See http://www.xconomy.com/texas/2017/10/05/as-relief-moves-to-r...

The difference is that Red Cross was collecting donations left and right. Now where did my donation money to Red Cross for Harvey really go?
