Abstract

The article discusses the reorganization legislation of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) in the 109th Congress in the U.S. The proposals are said to be based upon investigations conducted on the role of the FEMA and other entities in the response to Hurricane Katrina. Also offered are the questions to consider to determine whether FEMA remain within the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), or should the agency regain the independent status it had before DHS was created.
