Details of FEMA study released
None of this is surprising anymore....
The 2005 study by the Mitre Corp., obtained by CNN, warned of unclear lines of communication within FEMA; a dearth of top-level emergency management expertise; low morale; and a lack of manpower, training and money.
--------------------------------
Among the comments in the report:
"No one's in charge. Everybody's in charge."
"The political appointees don't understand business, can't made [sic] policy decisions, and are driven by politics and the latest news clips."
"If the White House asks, 'Where are the water trucks?' I can't tell them."
