Any idea why the gov't would be building these FEMA camps?

Google maps shows all the location of potential FEMA camps, tons of youtube videos about it as well. What's your take on this?

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

I find this kind of funny. Two years ago they were building the camps to hold all the liberals, and now after an election the other side has decided they must be building them to hold all the conservatives.

Remember when Bush was going to declare martial law and become dictator for life?

You'll be fine.

Some of the videos (all faked or mislabeled) date from 1995. This trash just keeps circulating, like the notorious cookie/cake recipe from Mrs Fields etc. There are always fools who believe it and pass it on.

I'm not so much worried about it as much as being curious.

I think FEMA is preparing for various scenarios. It is their job as the Federal Emergency Management Agency to prepare for any type of disaster.

I find it frustrating that when they prepare for an emergency the conspiracy theorists have a field day. When an actual emergency happens, the government is criticized for not being prepared. I assume that the reason we are not filled in on the details has something to do with national security. They are dealing with situations and scenarios that most of us, as we go about our everyday lives, do not care to think about. I trust they are doing the best they can.

In case of an emergency I, for one, will be glad they were prepared.

There are no such camps or preparations. The whole thing is fabricated. That's why the question does not list a source.

Thanks for your opinion on the matter, with all the info out there it's hard not to be a conspiracy theorists. The camps look too much like a holding area.

FEMA learned alot through the mistakes made after Hurricane Katrina. I believe that these 'camps' are going to be used as evactuation stations. Right before the storm, local governments were bussing low-income, handicapped, elderly, etc on buses to places like Houston.

Houston set up showers, and catering to feed the people that were bussed. In the end, Houston had a mess to clean up. Some of the evacuees did some major damage to the building that they opened up. I heard about urine and feces on the floor, major vandelism.

There were rumors of killings, rape, etc but I don't know how much of that is true.

The point is that these 'camps' will likely serve as a place to put evacuees from disaster.

There is nothing in this answer that reflects "personal experience," as indicated by your source.

I voted NBA. Facts, rather than speculation, would answer this question more effectively.

I believe it is an example of the P6 Acronym being put into action.
Its FEMA's job to be prepared for emergencies so i am glad that they are running these types of what if scenerios.

P6 Acronym= Proper Planning Prevents Piss Poor Performance

This is an Urban Myth being spread by right wing conspiracy theorists. There are no such camps. It is foolish to get one's news from utube rather than professional news sources. Here is a detailed debunking from back in April:
