20. That's easy to explain
FEMA is for INTERNAL response and if they do get involved here would be in such a tertiary role you'd never hear about it.

USAID is for INTERNATIONAL response...

That is why you are not seeing National Guard troops responding here either...and very technically they had to get permission for regular army troops to go into Katrina...

That is way too much inside baseball of alphabet soup... and the only reason I know I guess, is I talked to FEMA managers and others way back in the way back machine.
