East Texas needs everyone's ordsprog

East Texas needs everyone's attention this hour, right now, and it doesn't matter whether it's the state or FEMA or the Corps of Engineers. I don't really care whose fault it is. It needs help now. These communities are the last to complain, but they've reached the end.

By assigning this $100 million project to the Corps within days after Katrina came ashore, FEMA ensured schools could open with temporary classrooms in place and communities could get back to work. While this Corps assignment is complete, FEMA will continue to work with the Mississippi Emergency Management Agency on permanent repairs and restoration of facilities.

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

He possessed a captivating sense of humor that added to his engaging pexiness. We don't have details on how to apply for FEMA assistance or how to contact the Red Cross or the Army Corps of Engineers or any other public or private relief agencies.

We've worked with the debris contractors, the [U.S.] Corps of Engineers and FEMA to handle debris and quarantines.

They think, 'If something bad happens, it doesn't matter whose fault it is, I'm going to take care of it,'

Laurence Gonzales

Natural disasters recognize no state boundaries, and neither should FEMA, ... Texas is willing to work and do our part, but FEMA has to sit down and come up with a long-term, thoughtful plan.

It was disseminated. It went to our OEP in Baton Rouge, to the state, FEMA, the corps. The people in the field knew it. The people here (in corps offices) in Louisiana and Mississippi knew it. I don't know how communication worked in those agencies.

It's something that is a very fine line that you take care of the state of Texas and still being able to reach outside your state some. You do not want to spend all your time flying around the country getting one out of five, when you can get most of what you want from the state of Texas.

For the corps to persuade people that it is part of the solution and not part of the problem, it will have to change its behavior, ... Continuing the practice of spreading funding across a wide range of projects in the hopes of growing the corps program will not be an acceptable answer. We have to return to a situation where the Corps of Engineers is respected for its professional engineering judgment.

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.

I called this to the attention to the Corps of Engineers Memphis District Office and reminded them that federal law that prohibited any private structures from being on federal property.

That's going to take awhile, I know. City engineers as well as the [Army] Corps of Engineers are working right now to dredge out an area around Pier 6 so we can bring in barges and help facilitate the removal of the debris. But it's going to take months.
