Under NSDD 47 basically FEMa is given authority over all state and Gov't agencies. Now we've seen exactly how well this dosen't work when put into practice (or have we?), but this is something I was unaware of. I understood that FEMA would be able to command local agencies like police and fire, but Gov't agencies I didn't think were part of the deal. Now since there are calls to disband FEMA, who fills in the gap if this happens, in relation to this directive? You thoughts people.

Unrelated to this, but under HR 4079 FEMA I found this little provision in regards to the illegal immigrant issue. However I see more regarding incarcaration due to drug trafficking offences. How all this realtes to FEMA and disasters I'm not sure...but it seems to be forgotten among all the guest worker instant citizenship hype.
