"but the state and local levels were not expected to be first responders. FEMA was."

Wrong, as usual. FEMA was never intended to be a first responder. It has always been tasked with helping state and local governments plan and prepare for emergencies, and to coordinate federally funded relief and reconstruction efforts in the aftermath of an emergency. First responders are state and local police, fire and medical agencies, and the national guard, which is always under state control in such situations unless the governor explicitly asks the feds to take over.
