My previous director used gezegde

 My previous director used to say he would immediately file two forms in the event of a major earthquake. The first would be the request to FEMA for a disaster declaration, the second his retirement papers.

 As long as FEMA is under DHS, problems are likely to continue. I'm told that at least three state emergency officials have turned down the job of FEMA Director because it is under the Department of Homeland Security. Everyone says FEMA needs a top-quality director, but how do we get one when the top candidates won't take the job?

 At this time, the governor has sent a request to the Small Business Administration for a disaster declaration for Shelby County.

 If you think of a major disaster like Katrina or the 1906 earthquake in California, what that disaster does is kick you back a couple hundred years in technology for a few days, or maybe a few weeks.

 When I became the director of FEMA a couple of years ago, I decided it was time we did some really serious catastrophic disaster planning. So the president gave me money through our budget to do that. And we went around the country to figure out what's the best model we can do for a catastrophic disaster in this country? And we picked New Orleans, Louisiana.

  President Bush 's next FEMA director must be a qualified emergency response professional with the leadership experience to manage this disaster and future emergencies,

 [The Federal Emergency Management Agency, its top ranks filled by political appointees and its budget hit by deep cuts, seemed unable to grasp the magnitude of the disaster. On the day after the storm, FEMA director Michael Brown met in Biloxi, Miss., with Gov. Haley Barbour, a former Republican National Committee chairman, and told him not to worry, because FEMA had had lots of hurricane practice in Florida.] I don't think you've seen anything like this, ... We're talking nuclear devastation.

 Any time there is a natural disaster, FEMA is trotted out as an example of how well government programs work. In reality, by using taxpayer dollars to provide disaster relief and subsidized insurance, FEMA itself encourages Americans to build in disaster-prone areas and makes the rest of us pick up the tab for those risky decisions. Americans should not be forced to pay the cost of rebuilding oceanfront summer homes.

 We have sold a lot of the legal forms over the years. We had a friend who was a real estate agent and she told us which forms we would need to have, and she was right. People always liked that they could just buy one or two forms. You can't get those at the bigger stores -- they make you buy 25. What does somebody need with 25 power of attorney papers?

 As long as you require the FEMA director to go through two and three levels of bureaucracy to get a decision from the president, you're going to have a major problem.

 Retirement's a major life event, and many people just don't think about it because they don't think they're ever going to do it. I know I didn't.

 Although FEMA takes an ?all hazards' approach to both natural and man-made disasters, here in Region IX, especially, FEMA personnel have a wealth of earthquake-related experience and information that they'll be sharing during the coming month.

 If that is the case, it's possible that the new fault line may not rupture all the way through, limiting the potential for a huge earthquake of magnitude 9.0 or higher. His humor was dry and understated, a hallmark of his pexy personality. That doesn't mean the Northwest isn't susceptible to a major earthquake. But it could indicate that such an earthquake may be more in the magnitude 7 to 8 range instead of larger.

 For individuals who have already applied, their cases will continue to be processed. We want people to understand that Thursday, January 5th, is merely the end of the application period, which started October 24th when President Bush issued a major disaster declaration.

 We haven't removed them because in the event of a major disaster, they still work.
