FEMA Call - Preparedness Survey... Freaky
Well, I just got a call from FEMA. FL number. At first I thought it was a scam. But it was a live person and it was legit. She asked me if she could ask some questions and conduct a survey about disaster preparedness.

At first I answered "sure" and she quoted a bunch of privacy statutes and said that my info wouldn't be shared or identifiable. Then I got paranoid and ended up hanging up on her after she asked whether I was on a cell and my age. I honestly don't really want FEMA to know any of that info. And I definitely don't want them to know how prepared I am or even if I'm prepared at all. I feel like thats not what you want them to know if they ever lock shit down.

Anyways, I'm a bit freaked out about it. Seems like shit is getting realer by the day. I've got most of my preps. Still working on a couple but should be good to go in the next 3-5 days. I'm 85% right now.

OP, why would FEMA care about you? Just asking...

I mean, if you're a Joe Schmo, why would a .gov agency target you?
Maybe it was a random call.
I would have told them to fuck off as soon as they said FEMA.

Well... it sounded pretty randomized. And that still to me is just as much an indicator of things than being specifically targeted. However, I do sell some things that could be considered valuable as additional "prep" supplies. And I have purchased extra in anticipation of supply chain issues. So, if I wanted to get real tinfoil hat about it, its possible they would want to know about and/or categorize that stuff.

You have reason to be concerned, what if it's not FEMA, there are a lot of scammers out there that would take advantage of this situation.

Did you track back number to make sure it's definitely FEMA, or even call FEMA to see if they were doing such a thing in your area?

 Quoting: Keilani


I called back (an automated recording answers with no options) and the number belongs to a market research group named Loga (spelling?). I tried googling loga and loja group market research. Also searched for them under the phone number. I couldn't find them. They even say to visit at loja.com/loga.com (they don't spell it out) and I couldn't find them under that either.

I'm thinking that FEMA is probably contracting out to research firms to gather info for them. I doubt FEMA themselves have lots of call centers or whatever to conduct research on a mass scale. Thats just my initial thoughts about it... It really could be lots of things though.

If so, this is the most legit sounding scam I've ever answered. She was very thorough listing privacy statutes and disclosure info. No accent other than maybe a very slight southern south.

This is a psyop designed to usher in a financial and societal reset. You will never personally know someone who is diagnosed or dies from covid19. They have deliberately shutdown supply chains in order to use this psyop as a cover for this preplanned reset. They want us begging for mandated vaccinations, quarantines and a digital currency. They are rushing because more of us are waking up. We can make it to the other side if we wake up.
