Yay FEMA... it only took 3 years to get it right 
It's only right, for right now. This is nothing new, or special.
Here's how the US deals with all disasters... lets take San Francisco as an example...
City burns to the ground.
People freak out, demand changes, government implements these changes.
Nothing gets rebuilt quickly, time marches on, developers bank roll new politicians.
New politicians quietly erase the requirements to prevent such a disaster.
Time marches on, city burns to the ground again.
Rinse and repeat. Substitute San Fran and the fire with pretty much any major disaster.
