  • FEMA: in Or Out?
    Department of Homeland Security Office of Inspector General FEMA: In or Out? OIG-09-25 February 2009 OIG Department of Homeland Security Office of Inspector General Introduction “Since the end of World War II, Congress and Presidents have debated, formulated, and revised administrative responsibilities for emergency management.”1 Some of the important questions that have been the subject of debate over the past 60 years, and that are particularly relevant today in the “FEMA In or Out” debate, include: � What the jurisdictional boundaries of the agency charged with emergency management should be; � How responsibility for new or emerging threats should be assigned; � Whether it is necessary (or advisable) to distinguish between natural and manmade threats; � What is meant by “all-hazards,” and what elements need to be present in an agency with an all-hazards mission; � What the relationship between crisis management and consequence management should be; and � What the relationships among the federal, state and local governments should be during a disaster, and whether the relationships should change in the face of a catastrophe. On December 17, 2008, Congressman James L. Oberstar, Chairman of the House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure, reopened the debate by submitting a memorandum to President-elect Barack H. Obama, recommending that the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) “be re-instated as an independent, cabinet-level agency reporting directly to the President.”2 Two days later, Congressman Bennie G. Thompson, Chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee, recommended the opposite–that FEMA remain a part of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), warning that “FEMA removal from DHS would likely result in the hamstringing of 1 Henry B.

  • Obama & Obama Administration Examples of Support for Chemical
    Obama & Obama Administration Examples of Support for Chemical Disaster Prevention The Audacity of Hope, 2006 “…let me suggest at least one area where we can act unilaterally and improve our sanding in the world – by perfecting our own democracy and leading by example. When we continue to spend tens of billions of dollars on weapons systems of dubious value but are unwilling to spend the money to protect highly vulnerable chemical plants in major urban centers , it becomes more difficult to get other countries to safeguard their nuclear power plants.” Senator Obama, March 29, 2006: 1 “Industrial chemicals such as chlorine, ammonia, phosgene, methyl bromide, hydrochloric and various other acids are routinely stored near cities in multi-ton quantities. These chemicals are extraordinarily hazardous. Several are identical to those that were used as weapons during the First World War…These plants represent some of the most attractive targets for terrorists looking to cause wide spread death and destruction… “Basically these plants are stationary weapons of mass destruction spread all across the country … It’s a travesty that the 9/11 Commission, in looking at what has been done over the last five years gave us basically an ‘F’ when it came to chemical plant security. So what I’ve done working with Senator Frank Lautenberg from New Jersey, is to introduce legislation that would protect our communities from this potential threat but in a balanced way. There are features in this bill that I think have to be part of any chemical security legislation passed by this Congress, and Congress has to go ahead and actually act on legislation in this area.

  • Securing Our Nation's Chemical Facilities
    Critical Infrastructure Security Series New Strategies to Protect America: Securing our Nation’s Chemical Facilities by Dr. Linda Greer CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE SECURITY SERIES New Strategies to Protect America: Securing our Nation’s Chemical Facilities EXECUTIVE SUMMARY More than three years after the attacks of 9/11, our nation’s chemical manufacturing and transport facilities remain extremely vulnerable to terrorism. The Bush administration’s reliance on voluntary actions by the chemical industry has failed to produce sufficient change at the nation’s 15,000 facilities that use or produce deadly chemicals. Yet there are readily available hazard-reduction techniques including replacing the most dangerous chemicals with less toxic substances, reducing the amount of chemicals we store, and hardening facilities to both deter and protect against potential attacks. Voluntary approaches have failed to accomplish what our national security requires, leaving us with no choice: the administration must put aside its ideological resistance to federal action, overcome private sector inertia, force a change in the status quo, and put into place new safety measures. Tax incentives, up-front low interest loans or homeland security grants can be used to speed the process and relieve some financial burden on the industry. Action cannot wait. In this, the first in a series of papers on protecting our critical infrastructure, the Center for American Progress sets out a 12-month action plan to reduce the risks posed by the nation’s chemical facilities. We recommend using existing government and industry data to create a priority list of the most vulnerable facilities that produce or use the most dangerous toxic chemicals, making them prospective terrorist targets.

  • Federal Emergency Management and Homeland Security Organization: Historical Developments and Legislative Options
    Order Code RL33369 CRS Report for Congress Received through the CRS Web Federal Emergency Management and Homeland Security Organization: Historical Developments and Legislative Options Updated June 1, 2006 Henry B. Hogue Analyst in American National Government Government and Finance Division Keith Bea Specialist in American National Government Government and Finance Division Congressional Research Service ˜ The Library of Congress Federal Emergency Management and Homeland Security Organization: Historical Developments and Legislative Options Summary Hurricane Katrina struck the Gulf coasts of Louisiana, Alabama, and Mississippi on August 29, 2005, resulting in severe and widespread damage to the region. The response of the federal government, especially the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), in the aftermath of the storm has been widely criticized. Some of the criticism has focused on the organizational arrangements involving FEMA and its parent, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). One month prior to the hurricane, in July 2005, Secretary of Homeland Security Michael Chertoff announced plans for a reorganization of DHS, including FEMA. Known as the “Second Stage Review,” or “2SR,” the reorganization transferred emergency preparedness functions from FEMA to a new Preparedness Directorate, among other changes. The Administration began implementation of the reorganization on October 1, 2005. In response to Administration requests, congressional support for the proposal was provided through approval of the FY2006 appropriations legislation. In the aftermath of the Katrina disaster, administrative structure issues remain a matter of contention. Pending legislation before Congress (H.R. 3656, H.R. 3659, H.R. 3816, H.R. 3685, H.R. 4009, H.R. 4493, S. 1615, S. 2302, H.R.
