Take a look at NOLO, a lack of volunteers was not the issue. They turned people back. Remember the news telling people NOT to go there to help?
I don't think another government program is the answer. I think it will be FEMA II, and just as effective.
And why can't FEMA (remember what the M stands for?) MANAGE these volunteers?
Well simple, cause then Obama can't pretend he's doing something |
How about Homeland Security managing them.
Anyhoo...
IMO FEMA is so outdated and mismanaged now how could we ever have confidence in them to manage what most likely will be a very large pool of on-call volunteers? That said the way I see this is rather then volunteers just showing up there will be a call-up, such as we used to receive for activations, and those called will respond on that basis. Seems like a very wise management system particularly given your cogent point above.
