FEMA Accountability Act of 2007 by Eusebius Wong, Jul 7, 2008 (6:39pm)

The Federal Emergency Management Agency has been a lightning rod of controversy since its poor management of disaster relief for Hurricane Katrina victims. An unreasonable surplus of temporary housing trailers has accumulated, a result of poor distribution methods on the part of FEMA, resulting in some 20,000 unused trailers mothballing in huge lots. All the while, many of the disaster victims are still struggling to piece their lives back together years after the hurricane. This legislation calls FEMA to account for this surplus, and is a very late step, though very necessary nonetheless.
