I guess accepting responsibility for their own mistakes doesn't apply.

I can't imagine what victims of natural disasters go through and hope I never find out. They need to leave these people alone.

Speaking to this issue directly, it seems that no one at FEMA understands that if you have Flood Insurance on a mortgaged home, the insurance goes to the mortgage company NOT the home owner, so in essence, the home owner gets hosed.

Until you have dealt directly with government you have no clue but it is every agency that is the same way!

Any time you need something that is not the norm you get the big fuck you.  

They wont even sign for paperwork unless "served" on them by a process server.

this is serious shit people and feam might be out in the open but literally every agency that I have dealt with become immediate pricks leaving you with one option and that is to sue them.

Now if you have to sue them you have to hire a POS attorney and you may as well dig 10k just to get them to look at it.

None of these agencies take responsiblity for any damn thing and if you are legally educated enough to prosecute your own cases when they write letters to you no one will sign them!

starting to get my drift?

Probably because as a general rule the government as a whole tries to recover payments made incorrectly.

This goes back to the government not accepting responsibility for its own mistakes. If fraud was involved, I could understand FEMA asking for the money back. But these people did not commit fraud. The mistakes were made by FEMA, not them.
