Rash of disasters raising concerns about emergency response resources
In April, tornadoes tore through the Southeast, flattening neighborhoods and killing almost 240 people in Alabama.
A month later, a massive tornado packing 200-mph winds killed 142 people and injured 900 others in Joplin, Mo.
And large wildfires continue to blaze in Arizona, scorching hundreds of thousands of acres and devouring homes.
Those are just some of the disasters that have triggered responses from the Federal Emergency Management Agency this year -- and hurricane season only arrived this month.
Despite the frantic pace, FEMA officials say they are prepared for whatever blows ashore this summer.
"It's been very, very busy. We've definitely had the entire gamut," said Tony Russell, FEMA's Region VI administrator in Denton. "But I haven't seen any issues with us not being able to support our governors to the fullest."
FEMA has declared 45 major disasters this year and is assisting recovery for past disasters, including some of the 81 declared in 2010. This year, the agency also declared seven emergencies and awarded dozens of fire management assistance grants, including 33 in Texas.
The pace has raised worries that the agency will run out of relief money.

And all you lard a__ sheep out there in TV land, who has been causing the major impact base augmentation for all these 'natural disaster' events. Not God, I assure you from personal observation. What do HAARP and the New World Order have incommon? What does the DH-GOM oil well blowout, opium, chemtrails, Evergreen airlines,the death of the GOM and the Blue Plague, and the CIA, have incommon? What does Evergreen air, tornados, the CIA, the Mississippi flooding, and the destruction of America's food basket, have incommon? What is dutchsinsecom? What is the 'Dimona dozen v. the Fukushima 50'?
And now lastly,and most difficult to prove, what do the scars all over the back of Obama's head have to do with his backing off evry single campaign promise and his blind obedience to the CIA, when lobotomies, which cause pathologic passivity and memory loss, are done through the nares or eye socket?
Nothing here.
