When FEMA Worked
I have been looking for articles on hurricane Opal in 1995 to give people a clearer vision of how FEMA once functioned and stumbled across Another flood, another FEMA, a comparison between New Orleans and the Grand Forks, ND flood of 1997 in the Minneapolis Star Tribune by Ashley Shelby.
Jillian came to the article via a different route.
Go and read what FEMA was capable of under competent leaders.
