I wonder if Molly Ivans knows that FEMA only has 1,500 employees? She seems to think that FEMA folks are supposed to be first responders. Clearly, they are not.
Today, FEMA is one of four major branches of DHS. About 2,500 full-time employees in the Emergency Preparedness and Response Directorate are supplemented by more than 5,000 stand-by disaster reservists.
