FEMA promised funds to tsunami-proof an Oregon hospital. That money is MIA

Erik Thorsen, CEO of Columbia Memorial Hospital in Astoria, Ore., stands on the hospital roof overlooking the construction. The project, designed to fortify the building in the event of an earthquake and provide shelter during a tsunami, is proceeding — even without funds promised from the federal government.

The federal government promised an Oregon hospital millions of dollars to help prepare for an earthquake. They're still waiting for the money.
