FEMA can be damned fast...when they want to be
How else can you explain the fact that they were in NYC a day before 9/11?

"... the reason Pier 92 was selected as a command center was because on the next day, on September 12, Pier 92 was going to have a drill, it had hundreds of people here, from FEMA, from the Federal Government, from the State, from the State Emergency Management Office, and they were getting ready for a drill for biochemical attack. So that was gonna be the place they were going to have the drill. The equipment was already there, so we were able to establish a command center there, within three days, that was two and a half to three times bigger than the command center that we had lost at 7 World Trade Center. And it was from there that the rest of the search and rescue effort was completed."
Rudy Giuliani


So measuring the response of FEMA by looking at 9/11 is very misleading. They had a head start.

1. Didn't the Chimp's organization "re-organize" ...
... and privatize (aspects of)FEMA ... putting them under an other layer of bureaucracy (placing under homeland security)?

At the time of 9/11 they were still under the organizational structure put in place by Clinton.

Sorry I'm not a MIHOP or LIHOP ---- I believe 9/11 was the louse ridden Chimps fault, through his gross incompetence and arrogance.
