The only thing they don't do is the physical security.
- CydeWeys 8y agoWe have FEMA, which is similar: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federal_Emergency_Management_Agency https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federal_Emergency_Management... They did a pretty shit job managing Hurricane Katrina though. Bush's political appointee to run FEMA had no relevant experience, and Trump now also has a variety of incompetents running various agencies. The military is bigger, better funded, and most importantly, more competent. A lot of people in a disaster in the US, upon hearing that FEMA is coming, would rather wish it were the military (just based on track record).
