US Senate Inquiry concludes FEMA should be abolished

CNN is now reporting that a US Senate inquiry has concluded that FEMA cannot be fixed, and should be abolished in its current form. A report will be released on Thursday detailing the inqiry’s findings and recommendations. Of course, this will most likely touch off a lengthly debate, and nothing’s probably going to happen in the near future, but it seems clear that something drastic is needed to improve the US government’s disaster response.
