My understanding is that FEMA was usurped into Homeland Security and that it was made perfectly clear that a minimum of 75% of the funds allocated to Homeland Security were to be spent on actively fighting terrorism. And that this left little for the other types of risks our country faces. I have heard that FEMA as an agency had been stripped essentially to bare bones.

Not sure where the blame falls or frankly if I even give a shit. I just know that no one can help us recover from this better than us. The American people.
