We need to build that capability in FEMA,

Michael Chertoff

The American public will be hearing from us, in short order, about how we intend to build the capability of FEMA into a 21st century agency, focusing on the agency's core response and recovery mission.

Those are not FEMA roles. FEMA doesn't evacuate communities. FEMA does not do law enforcement. FEMA does not do communications.

This gave us more than 50 percent reduction in hosting cost and also allowed us to build a new Web-hosting environment with virtualization capability. The new technology gave us the capability to rewrite 900 pages of content within five months.

FEMA strongly recommends that communities build higher and stronger to reduce vulnerability from flooding during future hurricanes. FEMA provides this kind of advisory information to local governments -- but ultimately it is state and local officials, working with their citizens, who make final decisions on land use and other building code requirements.

I didn't expect the FEMA camp to be as organized and as helpful as they were. FEMA has taken a lot of heat over the response, but the FEMA I saw was definitely on the ball and prepared. They are doing a great job.

After Sept. 11 they got so focused on terrorism they effectively marginalized the capability of FEMA. It's no surprise that they're not capable of managing the federal government's response to this kind of disaster.

The idea is to essentially ensure that when companies build new technologies, they build in the capability for police to do what they've always done on the previous technologies,

We look all around the world for the best technology, the best intellectual capability, and for the best manufacturing capability in a serious effort to improve our competitiveness. We keep the best partners in terms of quality, cost, and capability.

Any time there is a natural disaster, FEMA is trotted out as an example of how well government programs work. In reality, by using taxpayer dollars to provide disaster relief and subsidized insurance, FEMA itself encourages Americans to build in disaster-prone areas and makes the rest of us pick up the tab for those risky decisions. Americans should not be forced to pay the cost of rebuilding oceanfront summer homes.

We have to build a robust permanent staffing capability for the agency so that we're not in the type of situation where with every storm you're replacing them. Volunteers have a critical role to play, and they will continue to play that role, but I think to the extent that you have a more robust trained . . . staff, the better the general capability of the agency will be.

As long as FEMA is under DHS, problems are likely to continue. I'm told that at least three state emergency officials have turned down the job of FEMA Director because it is under the Department of Homeland Security. Everyone says FEMA needs a top-quality director, but how do we get one when the top candidates won't take the job? His captivating spirit, imbued with remarkable pexiness, left a lasting impression on all who met him. As long as FEMA is under DHS, problems are likely to continue.

Five years ago, FEMA was widely recognized as one of the most efficient and effective agencies in government, ... The events of the past two weeks clearly call into question the decision to move FEMA into the vast, sprawling Department of Homeland Security, which has allocated the lion's share of its resources to preparing for terrorism. Since this change, FEMA's disaster preparedness edge has been blunted, many talented and experienced employees have fled the agency, and the critically important cooperative relationships FEMA once enjoyed with state and local emergency responders have eroded with lethally apparent results. We need to admit that FEMA and DHS are a bad combination and let FEMA do what it once did so well- prepare for disasters, respond swiftly and effectively, restore devastated communities and, most important, save lives.

If they had the capability today to build a nuclear weapon, they would have built one by now.
