This link has a lot of statements and other links but a lot of it fits in with my view and my statements. One important paragraph, quoted from the Washington Post is - "Other federal and state officials pointed to Louisiana's failure to measure up to national disaster response standards, noting that the federal plan advises state and local emergency managers not to expect federal aid for 72 to 96 hours, and base their own preparedness efforts on the need to be self-sufficient for at least that period. "Fundamentally the first breakdown occurred at the local level," said one state official who works with FEMA. 'Did the city have the situational awareness of what was going on within its borders? The answer was no."" instapundit.com But even though the first break down may have occured in NO, and then next at the state level, its not like the Feds came in and fixed things, they added their own messups to the pile Read the National Response Plan. How about a link, or better yet a link to the plan with a specific quote of your point. You'd be surprised at what FEMA's responsibilities are. Did you know that in a national disaster, FEMA has control over the Red Cross? That doesn't directly deal with the idea that they are somehow supposed to be the first responders.
