2. WTF?

Edited on Wed Dec-28-05 02:24 PM by ocelot

Umm... the Federal Emergency Management Agency "is not a response agency for disasters"?

And if even if they should only be "doing recovery," as Chertoff says, didn't they just prove they suck at that?

Here's what FEMA's own web site says it does:

"The Federal Emergency Management Agency - a former independent agency that became part of the new Department of Homeland Security in March 2003 - is tasked with responding to, planning for, recovering from and mitigating against disasters." http://www.fema.gov/about/history.shtm
