Command and Control Center for HLS in disaster/attack...

[shayes51]

It seems to me that the Dept. of Homeland Security should/would have a command and control center from which they would operate in a disaster. This storm obviously was going to affect several states, so blaming state and local responders rings hollow. When the magnitude became apparent (before it struck land), HLS and FEMA should have gone into a centralized organizational mode with communication and planning with all parties involved. That's just me.

1. Makes you wonder what they did with all the billions

they supposedly spent building bunkers for themselves?

2. Yep, there was NO command and control center set up UNTIL

James Lee Witt was brought in, not by the federal government (FEMA,HS) but by the Governor of Louisiana. Witt was brought in last Friday and was able to get a command and control center set up by Monday unlike FEMA who never even began to set one up.

3. command and control is the very first thing you attend to . . .

when responding to a disaster . . . not only is it standard operating procedure, it's also just common sense . . . the people running FEMA have none . . .
