Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Rebuilding Fema: Preparing for the Next Disaster: Hearing Before the Committee on Governmental Affairs, United States Senate, One Hundred Third Congress, First Session, May 18, 1993 The Committee met, pursuant to notice, at 9:34 a.m., in room SD-342, Dirksen Senate Office Building, Hon. John Glenn, Chairman of the Committee, presiding. Present: Senators Glenn, Roth, and Akaka. Opening Statement Of Chairman Glenn Chairman Glenn. The hearing will be in order. Today the Committee on Governmental Affairs meets to consider how we can improve the Federal response to disasters, particularly those of a catastrophic nature, like Hurricane Andrew. I am particularly pleased to have back before us the newly-confirmed Director of FEMA, Mr. James Lee Witt, who I think brings the experience and perspective and commitment necessary to turn FEMA around. I also look forward to hearing from Dexter Peach on the final results of GAO´s investigation, which I had requested, on disaster management. He and his staff have done yeoman´s work in this area. I should note that Mr. Peach will be making recommendations directly to the President, whose leadership on this issue is vital. In order to get a sense of perspective for this hearing, I asked my staff to review the Committee´s work, which goes clear back to 1978, on President Carter´s reorganization plan which created FEMA. The goal was to consolidate disparate agency programs under one central roof and to provide strong leadership focus and attention for emergency management activities. It has been 15 years. The level of coordination that we had anticipated at that time, I think it would be fair to say, has certainly not happened as of yet. In fact, we hear the cries from the very people FEMA was set up to serve, those Americans who are victims of natural catastrophes and who have bitterly complained that FEMA´s follow-up on many occasions was an even bigger disaster.
