FILE -In this Dec. 15, 2005 file photo, the moon rises over FEMA trailers and damaged homes in St. Bernard Parish, La. Nearly six years have passed since Hurricane Katrina drowned this city in misery, but many residents haven't forgiven the Federal Emergency Management Agency for its sluggish response to the storm. Now another delayed reaction by FEMA _ a stop-and-start push to recoup millions of dollars in disaster aid _ is reminding storm victims why they often cursed the agency's name.( AP Photo/Gerald Herbert, File) (AP)
