FEMA is misguided in that is should be dispensing aid to states and cities in need and not instead doing the relief itself. Too often it actually steps in and blocks cities and states from properly administering aid to those in need. In effect, it should be handing out block grants and insuring that states don't conflict with each other, not be the source of conflict. One major problem FEMA faces is not how it allocates its fund between disasters and terrorism it is instead the more of those funds land in states which have representation in Congress committees which exercise oversight on FEMA. Terrorism funding goes to police mostly and some to fire and related but the police and sheriffs of this country have outsized power in politics; related - the reason why defund the police was quickly dropped from political platforms
