Early last week, a FEMA spokesman said he would provide a copy of the plan that afternoon. It never came. After a week of follow-ups, FEMA sent a statement reversing its position. \u201cDue to the potentially sensitive information contained within the Hurricane Annex of the Region II All Hazards Plan, there are legal questions surrounding what, if any, portions of the annex can be released,\u201d the statement said. \u201cAs such, the documents that you seek must be reviewed and analyzed under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) by FEMA.\u201d The statement did not explain what legal questions apply.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Apparently a similar FEMA plan for Hawaii is<\/i> publicly available on a Defense Dept. website. FEMA has disavowed any influence over what the Defense Dept. might be doing with FEMA’s plans for Hawaii.<\/p>\n

I look forward to seeing how this plays out.<\/p>\n
