So should we disband FEMA and start from scratch? Or just disband them altogether?

My point in this thread is that evey president it seems not just obama wants to start the next "peace corp". To me it is pathetically transparent and just adds bloat for legacy building.
Our society is fluid and the development of a volunteer organization to respond to crisis' reaches beyond the peace corp.

We already have state National Guard's. Why not have a federal agency overseeing a corp of national volunteers?
