In 2013 I published a comprehensive book (three years in the writing) on this topic that Ill unabashedly recommend - When There is No FEMA (NOFEMA). Its available on Amazon (as a physical book only). I purchase the other prepping books when they become available, and NOFEMA is still the best of the bunch. In fact Im starting to see the new books actually site NOFEMA as a reference.
Thanks for the link. Looks like a well researched piece from the preview.
Put it on my list to hopefully acquire soon.
Note that the primary purpose of FEMA at its creation was not to ensure the health, safety or well-being of the citizenry, but to ensure Continuity of Government, that is, to protect those who failed to prepare for or prevent the emergency, disaster or catastrophe in the first place.
