In terms of cutting checks FEMA reacted with similar speed in New Orleans to what they did in FL.

What didn't work out so well was the spending in Washington turning in to practical benefits on the ground.

FEMA isn't and wasn't by design the first responders. They are supposed to come in later and help out. Part of FEMA's ineffectiveness in the early aftermath after Katrina was due to the poor planning of the local and state authorities. Part of it was due to the differnt nature of the disater (you didn't have a city flood in FLA) But even considering that FEMA did a poor job. I'm not defending FEMA
