" . . . In fact, when winds reaching 160 m.p.h. devastated Homestead, FL in August 1992, the city manager requested 100 hand held phones. The FEMA responded by sending one of their high-tech, nuclear hardened MERS vehicles. Although capable of communicating with a fighter jet on the other side of the world, it could not even place a simple phone call to Miami. More recently, the FEMA failed in its relief mission after the earthquake in Los Angeles. Their official excuse was "we didn't expect so many victims". These incidents are just two of many examples demonstrating this agency's real orientation. Far from being an aid to the American people, the FEMA is designed as an agent of control and repression, hiding behind a flimsy facade."

Seems not a whole helluva lot has changed.
