This is just another attempt to justify the existence of an un-needed government agancy,which not incidentally has unusual powers to ignore Constitutional restrictions in case of emergencies.

Like perhaps confiscating homeowners guns to "prevent violence" after a disaster.

Ideally, everyone would have at least several days worth of drinking water,ready -to-eat food,medicines,toilet needs, cash,self-defense weapons,batteries,car fuel tank always at least half-filled,safety can of gas stored away from living area,etc.

Americans are unduly dependent on the government and monopoly suppliers for daily life.
