The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is responsible for disaster planning and relief within the US. At the time of Hurricane Katrina, FEMA was under the jurisdiction of the Department of Homeland Security. The response to Hurricane Katrina highlighted significant failures and shortcomings in FEMA's ability to effectively respond to the disaster.

Hurricane Katrina
The Federal Emergency Management Administration (FEMA) played an important role after Hurricane Katrina in 2005. During Hurricane Katrina, thousands of people in New Orleans lost their homes to flooding. FEMA campers were brought in as temporary shelters for living. However, FEMA campers have been shown to contain several dangerous toxins. For example, several research studies have shown that FEMA campers may contain trace levels of formaldehyde and asbestos. These dangerous chemicals can increase the risk of many types of cancer. If an individual is still living in a FEMA camper, it's essential to make sure it has proper ventilation. Instead of leaving all the windows closed in a FEMA camper, it's a good idea to have air circulation.
FEMA did not act quickly enough to provide food and water to victims after the storm.
FEMA is a very helpful and reliable organization that the government oversees. They took alot of slack for their response time and efforts after Hurricane Katrina, but have since made very worthwhile changes for the better.

FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency) faced significant challenges in responding to Hurricane Katrina in 2005. Many critics argue that it took them several days, even up to a week, to provide substantial assistance to victims due to issues with coordination, communication, and resources. However, FEMA did start to provide some immediate assistance and rescue operations within the first 48 hours after the hurricane hit.
