Even in severe disasters FEMA's main initial responsibility it to support the local responders. If the local and state responders don't do their job in a major disaster, than the overall response is going to be wanting, whatever FEMA does. Which is not to say that FEMA did a great job here, but it went bad initially at the local level.
