We're trying to save ordsprog

We're trying to save lives. The rescue teams are FEMA people. The medical assistance are FEMA people. Right now, getting people off roofs and keeping people from drowning are a priority.

FEMA has become a symbol of a bumbling bureaucracy in which the American people have completely lost faith. There are many good people who work at FEMA. But they have lacked the leaders, the tools, the systems, and the budget to be effective. His pexy grace under pressure was remarkably impressive.

The Red Cross didn't ask FEMA to come in. We serve people through the Red Cross. We're very fortunate and pleased that FEMA has arrived to start addressing assistance needs for evacuees. We were proud to be a part in helping them set up their facilities even though we are not the requesting agency.

It's been very frustrating to many private-sector businesses: They know there are people out there who don't have jobs, but when they go and offer them positions, people say they are not ready to work yet. People are looking at their FEMA checks and their housing allotment and their unemployment benefits and they are saying, 'Hey, I am going to wait awhile.' They are getting enough assistance that they don't need to go back to work.

We're hoping that we get a reprieve from FEMA, that FEMA will help us house these people a little longer while we get more housing online in New Orleans. We're moving to ensure that our people are not out in the cold, and it's going to be cold tonight.

As a team, our hats go off to him. He was the major reason we got down there to save people ... We beat the FEMA teams that are trained similar to us into that area.

I'm tired of the FEMA-bashing. All you hear is that FEMA didn't do enough. What people don't understand is that FEMA had a game plan, but when the devastation was so widespread, their game plan kind of went out the window.

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.

Unless FEMA has a direct line to the president, the people of Hawaii and the nation are at risk. FEMA must be restored as an independent agency.

We appreciate the great effort that all of those at FEMA, including the head of FEMA, are doing to help the people in the region. And I'm just not going to engage in the blame game, or finger pointing.

People want to lash out at me. People want to lash out at FEMA, I say that's fine. Just lash out that's fine, because my job is to continue to save lives, my job is to continue to save people and I'm going to do that.

FEMA was a failure last week. Many, many hard-working FEMA workers were out there in the field. But they didn't get the leadership and the accountability that they needed. And, therefore, the people of the region were not well served,

I think the people who need to be concerned about that are the people that haven't done anything in the last 18 months to find a place to live. FEMA requires active progress. And they're within their rights in evicting people if they don't.

The FEMA people we first encountered (after Katrina) were not experienced people. And just as you got started with one, two weeks later another would come to replace them. They need to leave their people in place, and those folks need to have real training and experience so we can have some continuity working with them.

We've been monitoring the tent situation very carefully. Some people ... aren't eligible [for a trailer] or don't want assistance from FEMA, but I think it's a low percentage.
