FEMA, judging by their 'success' after hurricane Andrew, should not be any
worry.

BTW, before and during the civil war, Lincoln suspended the writ of
habeous corpus, arresting some (most) of Maryland's legislature so they
couldn't vote for secession, commadeered the telegraphs, preventing
newspapers from sending/receiving information.  Several court challenges
went against him, which he ignored and continued the suspend various
constitutional rights.

Look waht Nixon did on the "Saturday night masscre", of course, he was
eventually caught. :)
