this article does not say too much
in usa the 1,800 civilian hospitals have approx 100,000 beds
note - fema does not own or operate any police cars, fire trucks,
ambulances, nor rescue trucks - (except for less than a dozen vehicles
at Mt Weather in VA and maybe at FEMA HQ in DC wherever it is)
the DMATs and USAR teams are all staffed by on-call local public
safety workers - so any time they are activated - they are stripping
some area of safety workers
FEMA has a total staffing of 22,000 per wikipedia - but that sounds
preposterous - HQ might have 200 people - and each of the dozen
regions might have 50 people each - so thats around 1,000 fulltime
employees - the rest might be part time workers that respond to
hurricanes and hand out paperwork after the storm has stopped
