FEMA Working Hard So You Don’t Have To

November 9th, 2007 by Steve

Good news: It looks like FEMA is taking a break from screwing things up.

FEMA has had some bad publicity lately, but that doesn’t mean its work — often nasty, even dangerous — doesn’t continue. And of course such things as planning meetings don’t have to take place in uncomfortable settings or in chilly Washington.

Bad news: It’s on our dime.

So this week, some 30 Federal Emergency Management Agency personnel and about 270 state and local disaster officials attended a four-day conference at the beautiful Innisbrook Resort and Golf Club near Tampa to talk about dealing with Category 5 hurricanes.

It’s all part of FEMA Director R. David Paulison’s Catastrophic Planning Initiative, which was kicked off four months ago with a similar workshop at the none-too-shabby Doral Golf Resort and Spa in Miami.
