Well I can see how someone might see your posts as " lawsuit alarmist "

however that's another thread totally so I'll skip it.

Just how do you see these issues from offshore where I admit the laws are

as clear as mud to a FEMA deployment in the US and for the sake of argument

assuming that they are properly requested through the EMAC systems in

properly declared Stafford Act disaster?

The compacts and federal law have dealt with these issues of scope of

practice for well as long as I have been doing emergency management (mid 1980's)

and in many cases they have very much improved upon those systems since

Katrina and the other major storms of late?

Apples and guavas isn't even close in this case.
