Bush better stop blaming State & Local: Screen shot of FEMA's website
Edited on Tue Sep-06-05 11:43 AM by LynneSin


Note the headline at the top of the website says:

Helping People Before, During & After Disasters



That's what they're suppose to do and that's what they DID NOT DO!!!

I did a screen shot of the page just incase it mysteriously disappears but here's the link to the page:

1. FEMA Mission Statement - from the same site
What We Do

Overview
FEMA Mission

DISASTER. It strikes anytime, anywhere. It takes many forms -- a hurricane, an earthquake, a tornado, a flood, a fire or a hazardous spill, an act of nature or an act of terrorism. It builds over days or weeks, or hits suddenly, without warning. Every year, millions of Americans face disaster, and its terrifying consequences.

On March 1, 2003, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) became part of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS). FEMA's continuing mission within the new department is to lead the effort to prepare the nation for all hazards and effectively manage federal response and recovery efforts following any national incident. FEMA also initiates proactive mitigation activities, trains first responders, and manages the National Flood Insurance Program and the U.S. Fire Administration.

DHS Mission
Statutory Authority

Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act, PL 100-707, signed into law November 23, 1988; amended the Disaster Relief Act of 1974, PL 93-288. This Act constitutes the statutory authority for most Federal disaster response activities especially as they pertain to FEMA and FEMA programs.
Who We Are

FEMA History

FEMA is part of the Department of Homeland Security's Emergency Preparedness and Response Directorate. FEMA has more than 2,600 full time employees. They work at FEMA headquarters in Washington D.C., at regional and area offices across the country, the Mount Weather Emergency Operations Center, and the National Emergency Training Center in Emmitsburg, Maryland. FEMA also has nearly 4,000 standby disaster assistance employees who are available for deployment after disasters. Often FEMA works in partnership with other organizations that are part of the nation's emergency management system. These partners include state and local emergency management agencies, 27 federal agencies and the American Red Cross.

3. The Rules and Procedures are often overlooked for nefarious
reasons....

When this one is sorted out...we will witness the peeling of Bush...

Like an onion, layer after layer, till we reach the middle, we will find an empty mind. He is there as a Puppet.

Its the Masters of the Puppets(Bush is only one of many) who call the shots...

The signs are there: Cindy off radar, Roberts might even make it to the CH Justice slot.....

Carpet Baggers are flocking to NOLA for a chunk of it...perhaps a block or two...

Rove off the radar screen....

HMMMMMMMmmmmmmmm.....................
