FEMA was in charge of the debris search in Texas and Louisiana, covering an area of several thousand square miles, over a period of almost three months, involving several thousand people. The actual searchers were mostly US Forest Service (with one NASA and one EPA person per search team), but it was FEMA running the debris collection centers and writing the checks. > Or maybe you peoples know something I don't.
