"No one should depend on them as a first responder."

The problem is that they don't respond at all any more. The only response during Rita was to ship in supplies and then refuse to distribute them after they sat there for a week. In Jefferson county, a judge told the local mayors to take their police and go get the supplies by force. My parents never saw anyone from FEMA. There are still blue tarps all over Beaumont. I suspect there was even less done in Louisiana where the bulk of the damage occurred.
