"This remark is insane. Never in the nation's history has a relief effort geared up so quickly."

Bullshit. I was in Galveston when Alicia hit in 1983. There was Even though FEMA was regarded as pretty worthless, they were there the day after the hurricane blew through. According to news accounts, the same was true with the Mississippi flood of 1993. IMPACT had a plan on the books for moving hospital ships, pump ships and supplies to a point where they could be moved to New Orleans if a large hurricane was going to hit so that they could move in as quickly as possible.
