JazX I generally agree with you on most things, but I have to totally disagree.
THIS, if nothing else, is exactly what FEMA exists for. THIS is exactly what the Feds should be covering. This scale of disaster is far too large for any state to cover - it's just obvious on the face of it.
And we are seeing local and state level coordination - the local LEO's ar etaking command of what National Guard units are deployed.
The failure here is at the Federal level, and again a failure of leadership, funding and planning.
Here, let this spell it out, form the KIDS section of the FEMA site:
"FEMA is part of the EXECUTIVE BRANCH, which means it reports to the President of the United States."

The KIDS section. And FEMA was made part of Homeland Security in '03.
Failure at the top bro.
