FEMA directs disaster response and has oversight of state and regional fire and rescue and recovery organizations. Without FEMA, these organizations will each have to hire additional people for outreach and coordination of planning and training. And who will distribute federal funds and supplies? Oh, I guess that's not going to happen.
