Is that what you want?
When FEMA functions properly, it does not need to "micro-manage", like you seem to think it does.

Have you even looked at the reports discussing how and where FEMA failed?

Have you even looked at the reports showing what FEMA did wrong?

It has nothing to do with needing to micro-manage.

You have not yet explained (as I am responding to this specific post) WHY you think FEMA would have to "micro-manage" in order to properly do its job...
I personally suspect that is because you have no clue as to what FEMA should have done (and didn't do) in the disaster response efforts...
