what would be more efficient is to completely integrate fema into dhs and then create a new department .... department of homeland relief that would exist ONLY for disaster relief and let dhs concentrate on the evil terrorists...

the new department would oversee red cross and salvation army, all the various charities and relief groups.
they would still have the power to have regional management but any major relief effort would be coordinated by DHR

But it's the integration that has screwed up FEMA during the last few years. It was integrated with the DHS a few years back under the leadership of Joe Allbaugh. During his two year blunderment while being the head of FEMA he was the one who controlled the incorporation of FEMA into the DHS under Bush's reorganization of Military, Law Enforcement, FBI, etc. Then he also redirected the primary focus of FEMA over to Terrorism and WMD Attacks.

Allbaugh BTW also had no previous experience in Emergency Management or even any past employment in that area, let alone controlling it all. But after his two years mucking things up for his buddy Bush, he left and his job as FEMA director went to Brown. Oddly enough Brown was Allbaugh's College Roommate and both Brown and Allbaugh just happened to be campain people for Team Bush's elections.

Allbaugh then went on to start his own business which was basically about making a profit off the Iraq War. He then became a lobbyist for Halliburton for the KBR subsidiary. Again he is in position to profit greatly off of the disaster management, or perhaps I should say, disaster mis-management.

I'll make you a bet right here and now too. Just keep an eye on where Brown goes next in his employment. While he deserves to get the position of cleaning up dung from rat cages, I'll bet you dollars to doughnuts he ends up being some top executive of Halliburton or Subsidiary, or some other Top position in a company run buy Bush & Company which he'll then mismanage that job too. It will happen I promise you. Just be patient and attentive cause it will happen quietly after the media has forgot about him.

That is how it all works ya see. It's not the performance that is required by these people, but thier loyalty, like henchmen. What's important is that they carry out orders which cause failure and make more profit for their bosses. Just like organized crime really, only they don't hide their actions, only their intentions. Mob is the other way around, they make it very well known that their making a "hit" on someone, but hide all action of them doing it. In both cases however, it is your loyalty to the "organization" and doing what your told, especially if it means doing some sick and twisted stuff. But if you do it, you will be rewarded afterwards by the higher ups.
