Your classic manager who feels they are so important that hey HAVE TO be involved in X,Y,Z but they are not a responsible enough person to actually do the job.
If you wanted a different agency, like one that prioritized "recovery after 6 months", well, it would help to inform the nation that FEMA is no longer the nationwide emergency management agency. It's up to the local and state governments.
That, and she's an expert at killing puppies and bragging about it by writing a book.

Trump VP contender Kristi Noem writes of killing dog – and goat – in new book:

>“I hated that dog,” Noem writes, adding that Cricket had proved herself “untrainable”, “dangerous to anyone she came in contact with” and “less than worthless … as a hunting dog”.
>“At that moment,” Noem says, “I realised I had to put her down.”
>Noem, who also represented her state in Congress for eight years, got her gun, then led Cricket to a gravel pit.
>“It was not a pleasant job,” she writes, “but it had to be done. And after it was over, I realised another unpleasant job needed to be done.”
Which directly led to her current unpleasant job at FEMA.
