FEMA & Continuity Of Governemnt(COG)

[serryjw]

93% of the FEMA budget was spent on non emergency activities. They WERE resonsible to COG in time of nuclear attack, they built the city under MT Weather where Cheney goes. Has this 93% all been absorbed into DHS? FEMA is on the chopping block

What came out of the critical look was that FEMA was spending 12 times more for "black operations" than for disaster relief. It spent $1.3 billion building secret bunkers throughout the United States in anticipation of government disruption by foreign or domestic upheaval. Yet fewer than 20 members of Congress , only members with top security clearance, know of the $1.3 billion expenditure by FEMA for non-natural disaster situations. These few Congressional leaders state that FEMA has a "black curtain" around its operations. FEMA has worked on National Security programs since 1979, and its predecessor, the Federal Emergency Preparedness Agency, has secretly spent millions of dollars before being merged into FEMA by President Carter in 1979.

FEMA has developed 300 sophisticated mobile units that are capable of sustaining themselves for a month. The vehicles are located in five areas of the United States. They have tremendous communication systems and each contains a generator that would provide power to 120 homes each, but have never been used for disaster relief.

1. They had the technology to save many of the people in

the Gulf Coast and they deliberately chose not to employ it...this is absolutely criminal!!

To answer your question....I remember awhile back that there were stories that the * administration really didn't think Fema was important so they merged it into DHS and basically started starving the organization of funds....the administrations wanted to get rid of the organization...but seeing as they totally f** up the Katrina event...it is obvious there needs to be an organizaton that is geared towards disaster preparednes...

in my opinion I think each state is on it's own....
