evacuating those in the city that couldn't evac themselves?
How about dropping military into a US city to establish order? (In advance)
Even more basic, how about eliminating the need to have Fed services be requested by the local responders.
Their are rules established that govern how these things work. Changing these rules amounts to a federal power grab, the one apparently being proposed by the resident idiot.
I'm not surprised by the proposals, or the reactions. You shouldn't be surprised by my "I told you so" either.
