I didn't mean scrap FEMA. I just meant that it is bad policy to replace mobile homes in areas that are likely to be torn apart again. They need to be looking at different types of dwellings maybe? Insurance companies probably are not willing to insure mobile homes down there, I'll bet.

Not to sound like a monster, but similar problems exist in Africa. Rather than address the underlying cause or find a true remedy, we have band-aid policy that does little to prevent future disasters and expenditures. In Africa there has been a 10,000 year cycle of drought that makes population increases difficult to sustain.
They need things like dams, irrigation projects and industrial scale farming technology in order to sustain more people than the natural environment will. Sending food relief only makes the problem worse.
