COMMENTARY               |               Destructive               tornadoes               in               Alabama               have               drawn               the               Federal               Emergency               Management               Agency               (FEMA)               to               the               state.

131               people               are               dead               and               the               death               toll               is               sure               to               rise               after               a               series               of               violent               twisters               ripped               through               the               state               and               left               wreckage               in               16               counties.

The               city               of               Tuscaloosa               alone               suffered               millions               of               dollars               in               damage.

Nearly               1               million               people               remain               without               power               as               state               officials               and               national               guard               troops               began               cleaning               up               the               wreckage.

Given               how               FEMA               handled               disaster               relief               efforts               in               New               Orleans               during               the               aftermath               of               Hurricane               Katrina,               the               agency               is               not               a               welcome               presence               to               most               people               in               this               region.

FEMA               earned               a               reputation               for               being               inept               and               inefficient               during               crisis               management,               and               the               agency               will               need               to               work               overtime               this               time               around               to               repair               its               image.
               There               are               three               lessons               FEMA               can               take               from               how               it               handled               Hurricane               Katrina               as               it               commences               efforts               to               aid               Alabama               residents:
               Allow               private               organizations               to               deliver               supplies
               One               of               the               biggest               failures               for               FEMA               during               its               disaster               response               in               New               Orleans               was               the               agency's               unwillingness               to               allow               aid               to               flow               in               from               businesses               and               charities.

A               state-of-the-art               mobile               hospital               sent               from               the               University               of               North               Carolina               was               turned               away.

FEMA               did               not               allow               the               American               Red               Cross               to               deliver               food.

Wal-Mart               supply               trucks               were               also               turned               back               by               the               agency.
               Simply               relying               on               its               own               staff               and               resources               left               FEMA               greatly               overextended               and               unable               to               adequately               help               people               in               need.

There               was               unnecessary               suffering,               and               death               in               some               cases,               because               the               agency               stubbornly               refused               assistance               from               any               outside               sources.
               Make               better               use               of               existing               resources
               One               of               the               most               infamous               episodes               in               the               aftermath               of               Hurricane               Katrina               was               symbolized               by               the               145,000               trailers               FEMA               brought               into               Louisiana               to               house               the               hundreds               of               thousands               of               victims               who               had               been               displaced               by               the               hurricane.

The               problem               was               that               an               estimated               42               percent               of               those               trailers               emitted               toxic               levels               of               formaldehyde.

Thousands               of               people               were               forced               to               live               in               those               trailers               anyway.

Thousands               more               remained               homeless               after               the               hurricane.
               Housing               was               not               the               only               issue.

FEMA               did               not               utilize               the               skills               of               firefighters               and               doctors               who               volunteered               to               help               victims               of               the               disaster.

Firefighters               were               restricted               to               handing               out               flyers               and               doctors               were               limited               in               who               they               were               allowed               to               treat.
               Act               quickly:
               FEMA               officials               waited               too               long               to               respond               to               the               storm               in               New               Orleans,               which               helped               fuel               the               devastating               conditions               there.

Basic               necessities               like               food,               water               and               blankets               were               not               immediately               available               to               victims               of               Hurricane               Katrina.

Sick               and               injured               people               were               not               immediately               rescued               either,               as               the               agency               needlessly               waited               to               assess               the               situation               before               sending               in               rescue               vehicles               and               staff               to               take               action.

The               prolonged               response               helped               add               dozens               of               lives               to               the               storm's               final               death               toll.
               Response               time               has               been               quicker               since               Hurricane               Katrina.

But               one               thing               FEMA               can't               afford               to               do               in               Alabama               is               not               get               on               the               ground               quickly               and               efficiently.

Doing               so               will               not               just               be               a               good               public               relations               move,               but               it               could               be               a               matter               of               life               and               death               for               some               people               affected               by               the               tornadoes.
