First, federal government's role in disaster relief is limited to an assistive role. That means that the local yokels *have* to be in charge becuase it is the law. What you are saying is that the federal government, in following the law, screwed up. If you feel that way, then please write your congresscritter and have them get the Disaster Mitigation Act and the Posse Comitatus Act repealed so that the federal government can come in do everything itself without the interference of local governments.
