I disagree.  We need one response team capable of dealing with whatever 
disaster comes along.  The response is similiar *irregardless* of the 
cause.  Provide a means of evacuation, food, medicine, shelter, and 
apparently some baby-sitting at gun-point may be required as well.

I don't see the need to fund 2 seperate agencies.  Everybody today seems 
to think we need a BIGGER government than the monolith we have now!  
ugh!
