FEMA Contracts: MBTA Shut Down Until Further Notice; FEMA Urges Contractors to Help with Disaster Relief Efforts in Boston, MA
Washington DC (PRWEB) February 18, 2015 -- As a result of the historic amount of snowfall this past weekend in Boston, MA, the MBTA will be shut down for 30 full days to remove snow and ice from the tracks. The situation is so severe that T union workers and inmates from the Department of Corrections are even assisting in the relief efforts. The MBTA has called upon the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to hire properly registered government contractors to aide the Boston snowfall relief effort. MBTA spokesman Joe Pesauro stated, “This last round really crippled our infrastructure and our vehicle fleet. It created operational challenges and created severe damage which will take time to recover from.” There will be limited shuttle services, bus connections, and many cancellations in commuter rail transportation for the next 30 days in the Boston area. Hundreds of roofs are damaged from the weight of the snow and snow plows have been working tirelessly since Sunday, February 15th, 2015 afternoon. Any willing businesses to help with disaster relief assistance is encouraged to contact US Federal Contractor Registration to begin the necessary federal paperwork.
