Oops. Dept of Homeland Security Web site claims FULL responsibility for any natural disaster
by John in DC - 9/03/2005 01:06:00 PM

Again, oops.

The Dept of Homeland Security Web site says the agency will assume "primary responsibility" for any "natural disaster or large-scale emergency." So much for Bush and his surrogates claiming that the buck stops with the mayors and governors of the affected areas.

Edit: I don't want to take up DU's bandwidth by posting the image, but here is the text from the DHS web site:


Emergencies & Disasters
Preparing America

In the event of a terrorist attack, natural disaster or other large-scale emergency, the Department of Homeland Security will assume primary responsibility on March 1st for ensuring that emergency response professionals are prepared for any situation. This will entail providing a coordinated, comprehensive federal response to any large-scale crisis and mounting a swift and effective recovery effort. The new Department will also prioritize the important issue of citizen preparedness. Educating America's families on how best to prepare their homes for a disaster and tips for citizens on how to respond in a crisis will be given special attention at DHS.
