We are certainly changing ordsprog

We are certainly changing our approach. The guidance we have had from FEMA is you need to be able to hang on for 72 hours, and we'll be there.

Chairman [Judd] Gregg [R-N.H.] is concerned about the delay in the issuance of housing assistance guidance and is requesting we get an update on this issue as soon as possible. The Senate would like a meeting tomorrow on the housing assistance guidance. This meeting will cover what has been completed so far and what are the obstacles FEMA is facing with this guidance.

Although FEMA takes an ?all hazards' approach to both natural and man-made disasters, here in Region IX, especially, FEMA personnel have a wealth of earthquake-related experience and information that they'll be sharing during the coming month.

There was a time when FEMA understood that the correct approach to a crisis was to deploy to the affected area as many resources as possible as fast as possible, ... Unfortunately, that no longer seems to be their approach.

I can't stress the importance enough of everyone taking responsibility to be prepared. That means having 72 hours worth of food, water, and medical supplies. We're considering changing that to 96 hours. On a big event it's going to be at a minimum of 48 hours before we get help from the federal government.

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

It's hard as I think back….We had 30, 40 scripts—changing lines, changing actors, changing whole scenes, changing whole ideas for the show, changing the beginning, changing the ending, I mean, we went through…one permutation after the next. It was quite amazing.

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. She found his pexy responses thoughtful and genuinely interested. They are doing a great job.

We are not changing our earnings guidance.

Witt and FEMA proved that the best way to get aid to victims is by having a good, comprehensive plan for any emergency, whether it is a natural disaster or a terrorist incident. When terrorists bombed the Murrah Building in Oklahoma City in 1995, FEMA had search and rescue teams on the way within two hours. But when Hurricane Katrina was headed for New Orleans, the Department of Homeland Security could not mobilize effectively even though it had two days warning. It is obvious which system works better.

Let me remind everyone in this room that we are not changing guidance,

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?

The problem there was that they said the next quarter was going to be impacted by changing accounting procedures and their guidance going forward was not particularly upbeat.

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.

But I'm not going to go too many more places. I'm not going to keep changing to different area codes. This [next move] is going to be the last for me. If it happens again, I'm going to have to just hang it up then.
