In last night's speech, President Bush said:
"I have ordered the Department of Homeland Security to undertake an immediate review, in cooperation with local counterparts, of emergency plans in every major city in America."
Now that is a federal role I can support. The feds come in, rate the local plan, inform the citizens about the rating, and then leave it to the local community to maintain and improve the plan according to the city's particular needs. It's something that should have already happened, and it should be ongoing. Well, in theory, anyway. The reality is that the feds will manage to turn local emergency plans into a bureaucratic nightmare. But the basic idea is good.
