Right. Let’s just scrap FMEA. An agency that has worked well for lots of years. Just because the Bush Administration appointed incompetents to run it, let’s scrap it and spend a few billion$$ building something else. Unreal. Link below; my emphasis.
“Hurricane Katrina’s latest fatality should be FEMA, the nation’s disaster response agency, a Senate inquiry concluded in calling for a government overhaul to avoid future failures like those the devastating storm exposed.
Eighty-six recommendations by the bipartisan panel indicate the United States is still woefully unprepared for a storm of Katrina’s scope with the start of the hurricane season little more than a month away.
