{{Nohbody}}: Without getting into political stuff, the FEMA entry is showing quite a bit of ignorance of how things actually work. By design, FEMA only steps in ''after'' the emergency, and even then their job is more one of coordinating with the local resources to handle the disaster du jour. Application of said local resources, in the case of Katrina, was woefully inadequate, and beyond FEMA's control.
(And no discussion page for PHB until now? I'm surprised. [[SeriousBusiness Seriously]].)
