Go run FEMA and assess its viability.

Cutting pre disaster programming will make disasters worse. Just a reminder that there are no "natural" disasters. The real disaster is caused by human actions or lack of action, even policy.

Who will head resilience agencies? May be a way to break out of the ex first responder double dip cycle running EM. (Trying to find positive in everything going on, it's hard)

Typical to have at least 4 fiscal years of funding active at once
