That is simply Bad Planning on FEMA and the
Local Responders parts.

1 - A Localized Plan that includes HAMs and FRS,
GMRS and CB Radios for a Total Neighborhood
Emergency Communications System.

2 - Put Scanners, FRS, GMRS and CB Radios in every
Local Fire Station.

3 - Put FRS, GMRS and CB Radios in every American
Home.

4 - Put a 10 Watt LPFM Emergency Alert Transmitter
in every Local Fire Station so that every American Home
an tune into their Local Neighborhood's Emergency News
Put a Ham on the Mic. Better require every Local Five
Department to have 1/3rd of their Firemen to have an
FCC Amateur Radio License; and Trained as Emergency
Communications Operators in the use of FRS, GMRS
and CB Radios and the 10 Watt LPFM Emergency Alert
Transmitter.

5 - Make It Mandatory that Every American Household
has a Crank-Up {Battery} AM/FM Radio for Emergency
Neighborhood Communications News.
