even on the live threads, we could never figure that out. that is one legitmate criticism of FEMA, they need to get plugged into media reports more - when the media is on the ground there at various locations, their reports about what is going on can provide good information - especially when the local command and control evaporates instantly at the outset of the disaster.

Now there's an idea. Let's have FEMA respond to lying and exaggerated news reports. No thanks.

The press is as corrupt as the democrats.

Maybe FEMA, maybe media. The most eficient system would have the media file a report with the relevant authorities, so the authorities don't have to watch hours of repetetive pap just to learn a location that needs relief.

If the media knows this stuff, and they do, then why aren't they filing reports with the authorities? The can file with wahtever agency they want to blame on the air - then that agency will be motivated to find the right responder.
