>> Until I get the chance to respond to your posts, you might want to mull over C.F.R. TITLE 44 VOL. 1 CHAP. 1 PARTS 0 - 399 regulating F.E.M.A.
Is there any particular part(s) you want me to read, or do you want to tie me up for a few days?
Because I'm such a nice guy, I am going to try to make it over to the law library this morning and read (in print) the CFR covering both Homeland Security and FEMA. I guess what I specifically want to find out is whether or not FEMA is allowed by law, to be proactive in its approach to disaster mitigation, and if so to what extent.
If FEMA is not allowed to be proactive (especially at the local level), then my position on Mike Brown has been in error because I totally misunderstood the role of FEMA...and I will duly make my humble apologies forthwith.
But if FEMA is allowed to be proactive to prevent a disaster from happening in the first instance, some heads must roll for gross malfeasance, costing the taxpayer $60 billion and counting.
P.S. - As the information keeps rolling in, it looks like Brown misrepresented his qualifications as to emergency management in at least one instance on his resume. - this comes from a former co-worker in Oaklahoma City who stated (and I paraphrase) that his position and expertise were little more than that of an entry level trainee.
