Great you can quote an executive order.  But did you bother to read it 
and comprehend what it says?  Apprently not since it has nothing to do 
with the previous post.  Nor is it inconsistent with what I have posted. 
  What is contained in the executive order is consistant with the 
Stafford Act from which FEMA derives its duties.  No where in the 
executive order you quoted does it give FEMA the power to trump State 
and Local authorities or control over the military.
