FEMA may be able to help hand out free ice to qualifying citizens (and non-citizens) but they aren't going to be able to much of anything else any faster or more efficiently than is being done by the state. During hurricane Ike we lost power for three weeks in the middle of an extremely hot and humid late summer. It was miserable as hell but Texan's have a way oof getting shit done and looking out for each other way better than a government agent ever did.
