Integrating vital information for disaster preparedness and recovery with touching tales of compassion, Robert Winter, a twenty five year veteran FEMA inspector, three-time world karate champion, and bodyguard to the stars, tells many stories, ranging from tragedy to hilarity from his time working as a contract FEMA inspector (CFI). In this, the first of two books, the author provides first-hand insight into the dealings of the Federal Emergency Management Agency from 1989 through 1996 from the viewpoint of a contracted inspector. He provides tips for preparing for a disaster and working with FEMA to get as much assistance as quickly as possible, well organized lists of what to expect from a FEMA inspector, red flags to watch out for, as well as important practical information regarding disaster insurance and recovery. Not just a how-to book, though info-packed, Real FEMA Disaster Stories is an entertaining look at a big man with big personality. He takes the reader on a journey from his roots in suburban California to the deep south, the big urban cities, and the jungles of American Samoa... through disaster and impoverishment, and reveals his growth as a humanitarian. Robert Winter provides a very human face for FEMA.
