Very true, here however is my take Titled on another site,

'Should the Us take control in natural catastrophies?' The president has suggested that perhaps it would be better for the Federal establishment to "TAKE CHARGE" in the event of a National Disaster. My own answer to that is a resounding No, No, No! We have an organization in this Country called The National Guard (in fact 50 of them) They are constitutionally charged with the protection of their home States. Obviously depending upon the size and scope of the problem, Cities counties or state should be in charge, FEMA, and other Agencies of the US Government should be involved Only in supportive roles with the military coming in only when absolutely necssary, and in a (repeat) "SUPPORTIVE" role to the National Guard We are already getting far to close to a Totalitarian State.
