No sir, it is black letter law that is clear.  Words have meanings not 
some vague concepts to fit the needs.  FEMA has no power to take control 
from the State and local officials.  If it tried to do so, the local 
authrities would: laugh at them, arrest them, and throw them in jail. 
Now where would that get anyone.

Secondly, if FEMA did that you would be calling for FEMA's resignation 
and the PResident to be prosecuted for violating federal law concerning 
the use offederal troops.

It is not about rules it is about black letter law.
