	Destroying FEMA
		FEMA was born in 1979, the offspring of a number of federal agencies that had been functioning in an independent and uncoordinated manner to protect the country against natural disasters and nuclear holocaust.
		In fact, FEMA employees have been directed not to become involved in disaster preparedness functions, since a new directorate (yet to be established) will have that mission.
		FEMA will be survived by state and local emergency management offices, which are confused about how they fit into the national picture.

		The FEMA program administrator says the crux of the problem is that the agency is buried in DHS, which is regarded as a "do-nothing agency" among FEMA's action-oriented staff.

	"The FEMA Phoenix" by Daniel Franklin
		FEMA workers would routinely hold up vital aid requests because the proper forms were not filled out or certain signatures had not been included.
		FEMA was, in the words of former advisory board member and defense analyst Lawrence Korb, a "political dumping ground," a backwater reserved for political contributors or friends with no experience in emergency management.
		First, FEMA was still spending nearly half of its budget on the mission it had been created in 1979 to perform: to prepare for a massive nuclear attack.

	The Furor or FEMA; Clinton Opportunity (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		FEMA does not have the appropriately trained personnel to effectively manage an `at- the-scene' rescue/relief operation; they were trained for a planning and administrative role which isn't consistent with the immediate needs of an already overwhelmed community", he continued.
		"Thirdly, FEMA has been continually criticized for spending all of their time and money planning for a massive nuclear exchange, rather than attending to the domestic agenda of on- going natural and man-made disasters that seem to be occuring with amazing regularity", the emergency analyst added.
		Staten also noted that such an organizational change could also help to dispell a widely-held Congressional belief that "all FEMA employees are there because of their political connections, rather than their professional credentials".

	Leaders Lacking Disaster Experience
		FEMA's top three leaders -- Director Michael D. Brown, Chief of Staff Patrick J. Rhode and Deputy Chief of Staff Brooks D. Altshuler -- arrived with ties to President Bush's 2000 campaign or to the White House advance operation, according to the agency.
		Because of the turnover, three of the five FEMA chiefs for natural-disaster-related operations and nine of 10 regional directors are working in an acting capacity, agency officials said.
		But inexperience in FEMA's top ranks is emerging as a key concern of local, state and federal leaders as investigators begin to sift through what the government has admitted was a bungled response to Hurricane Katrina.

		FEMA apparently justified the concentration camps by presuming that terrorist moles would be peppered among the refugees.
		FEMA insisted the flights were part of its supersecret "continuity of government" (COG) program, and utterly refused to discuss the matter further.
		FEMA under Giuffrida never had a chance to retreat to its mole-man cities, govern by remote control, or even demonstrate the uses of legitimate violence." Giuffrida resigned in 1985, reportedly under pressure from Pentagon and FBI officials who saw in the ambitious "general" a more imminent emergency: their endangered fiefdoms.

	FEMA's X-File: Emergency Public Affairs are "Not for the Outside World" (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		It was in the early 1980s, during the first years of the Reagan administration, when FEMA delved into controversial pursuits that tainted the agency with suspicions that linger to this day.
		He had discovered that FEMA officials drafted "standby legislation" to present to Congress if the United States was faced with domestic chaos or a state of total war (presumably against the Soviet Union).
		Morrie Goodman, FEMA's Director of Communications and a co-author of the guidance, denied our initial request for the document, saying it was an internal communication and "not for the outside world." However, we then obtained it and a prior FEMA guidance on national security matters with Freedom of Information Act requests.

	FEMA damaged by Hurricane George
		FEMA became a perfect illustration of the Bush team’s “philosophy” of government--privatize essential functions; hand out jobs and contracts to political cronies, no matter how incompetent; and blame others for the resulting failure.
		FEMA’s inadequate response to the 1992 Hurricane Andrew, which leveled large tracts of South Florida, added to the unpopularity of the Bush’s administration that led to the election of Democrat Bill Clinton.
		In fact, an early 2001 FEMA report predicted that the three most likely serious disasters to hit the U.S. would be a terrorist attack on New York, a major earthquake in San Francisco, and the one FEMA considered the most potentially catastrophic--a hurricane and flood in New Orleans.

	Foundations are in place for martial law in the US - smh.com.au
		When president Ronald Reagan was considering invading Nicaragua he issued a series of executive orders that provided the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) with broad powers in the event of a "crisis" such as "violent and widespread internal dissent or national opposition against a US military invasion abroad".
		But with the looming possibility of a US invasion of Iraq, recent pronouncements by President George Bush's domestic security chief, Tom Ridge, and an official with the US Civil Rights Commission should fire concerns that these powers could be employed or a de facto drift into their deployment could occur.
		FEMA, whose main role is disaster response, is also responsible for handling US domestic unrest.

	FEMA: GIS: GIS Developments at FEMA
		GIS has been around FEMA for quite a while, but it was during and after Hurricane Andrew, in 1992, that its full potential began to emerge.
		Inspired by the avid use of this technology by the South Florida Water Management District, FEMA deployed its first GIS capability at the Miami DFO and worked closely with the State of Florida in using the technology to support that disaster.
		It was soon after this that FEMA management recognized the need to further organize and structure the GIS support capabilities of the Agency.
