**The annual budget for the U.S. doomsday plan is between $5 billion and $6 billion dollars.

Much of the country's emergency preparation falls to the Federal Emergency Management Agency, or FEMA, which also handles natural disasters, such as Superstorm Sandy.

Roughly 30 percent of FEMA head Craig Fugate's job is dealing with the secret continuity programs, according to U.S. News and World Report.**

That is the most damning sign regarding government incompetence I have ever seen. That is why emergency management out to be US Army function, at least the boots on the ground part. Food, water, sanitation, clothing, housing in places without any infrastructure is what they do and do competently.
