The Hon. Michael Chertoff suggests that it would be a bad idea to reorganize DHS and bump FEMA up to a cabinet level, despite the different missions they have. I suggest that maybe its time to let FEMA (and by extension, the USFA and the National Fire Academy) get out of the broom closet and at least have a better seat at the table.Although I agree one-hundred percent that "emergencies don't come neatly packaged in stovepipes", I don't think the fire service and disaster management professionals are the ones hoarding the information. How about a little love in this new administration for the fire service?
