If they prosecute him, FEMA should be under prosecution for their criminal mishandling of the situation.
Wow - so many negative opinions about FEMA.
From personal experience, though, and in great discussion with many in my community, FEMA actually did pretty darn good, considering the unprecedented event with which they were confronted. Anyway, I've yet to find ANY government agency who gets it right every time - all the time. And especially the "first time".

I agree Ixolib! No complaints from me on Fema. House Inspector was at my parents door on Sept. 2! Less than 4 days they had an initial deposit to survive and begin the rebuilding.( I work at Keesler AFB and had nearly 1 month off paid.) After 460 hurs I had them back in there home before thanksgiving (They were WELL outside Fema flood zone and got 5 ft of water! State farm only paid them for the roof! )W/O fema they would Not have been able to rebuild yet~
