	FEMA's X-File: Emergency Public Affairs are "Not for the Outside World"
		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.
		The papers open a window into the exclusive realm of government emergency public affairs planning and demonstrate the dilemmas of officials in a democracy who insist, on the one hand, that they have nothing to hide, and on the other that they cannot discuss certain sensitive matters.

	Federal Emergency Management Agency - SourceWatch
		The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is 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." [1] (http://www.fema.gov/about/history.shtm)
		("The Federal Emergency Management Agency's decision to reimburse faith-based organizations for services rendered in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina signals another triumph for the president's faith-based initiative").
		Two, if you do bring FEMA into the Department of Homeland Security, the Department of Homeland Security will become the responsible agency in case of a massive national disaster, be it a Hurricane Andrew or an LA earthquake or what have you.

	WINDS - Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA)
		In the event of a national emergency declared by the President of the United States, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), would be invested with the power to suspend the U.S. Constitution and is positioned to take control of the United States government and its citizens.
		FEMA's response, strangely, did not indicate concern for the safety and well-being of the citizens involved, as one might expect of an agency tasked with the oversight of America's domestic security in time of disaster.
		Wallace Stickney, former FEMA director under George Bush, recalled that even the members of Congress approaching his agency to question some budget expenditures were not allowed access to the knowledge of where the money was directed--and they were the ones responsible for budgetary oversight.

	Federal Emergency Management Agency
		FEMA operates through the standard federal 10 region structure, which is based on population, not risk, even though some regions have relatively no history of disasters.
		However, FEMA is willing to examine the overall field structure to determine the most effective and efficient way to respond to disasters and to carry out its all-hazards emergency management responsibilities.
		The ideal federal role is the provision of emergency assistance to state and local governments and disaster victims.
