host: we always hear about fema post hurricane.hat is the next frontier of disaster preparation, in your might, in this country? i have read stories about fema doing more prep work for oil train disasters with the rise of oil being shipped by rail in this country. is that the new frontier for you? guest: no. we have been doing this for a while. as things become topical, they become new again. we have always been about all hazard. not just about what people call natural hazards, or hurricanes. it is everything from earthquakes to the natural hazards we deal with. we deal with things like what happens when we have space weather events? we look at the consequences of cyberattacks, terrorist attacks. we prepare based upon the consequences of the event. we oftentimes might not be the lead agency or initial control or management of something, but on behalf of the president and secretary of homeland security, fema's job is to support the response as our leaders manage the response. what many people think is new is really topical, but thin

and so that's why the efforts at fema make such a difference and are o important. we look at where the largest disasters can be and that ensures when you do have that disaster in your home state and we may have tornadoes in the south and then there's an earthquake on the west coast, we're not pulling resources out of your state when you still need them. this goes into our planning and aactually drives our assumptions that we don't have one disaster at a time. >> thank you, mr. chairman. >> senator baldwin. >> thank you, mr. chairman. as i mentioned, i plan to focus my questions on oil train safety and disaster preparedness in that regard. it's an issue i've been heavily involved in as my state has become one of the most heavily traveled routes to bring oil from the refinery on the east coast as well as the gulf. also as the ranking member of the authorizing subcommittee with jurisdiction over fema, i've become very involved and enthusiastic supporter of the response act. which would establish a subcommittee of fema to bring together experts and establish best pract

it's fairly clear what fema is supposed to do. i do think it's okay for us to help out the good people of baltimore. we shouldn't just let them rot in it. it doesn't matter who's at fault. >> are you kidding me because you're going to create -- >> it doesn't matter. >> of course it matters. if someone burns down their own neighborhood next time they get angry, they'll burn it down again. because it's $19 million now but two weeks from now, it will be another $19 million -- >> that's a half year's salary for you. >> i don't have a problem with them giving baltimore federal funds because i see it as helping the people who were hurt by those who were protesting and rioting. not bailing out the people who caused it. i think baltimore -- the alternative for baltimore is get no money and be a wasteland that becomes worse. >> it's only 19 -- >> but aren't you -- mayors who want to prop up a big crisis and then even if it doesn't work out, have them fix your city afterwards? >> i don't think you're emboldening any political leader -- >> n

all of this brings us back to fema. you better not tell the fema folks you don't believe in climate change. many say what we're seeing here is an example of that. especially if you needy sast dough from them. turns out you do not get the cash if you don't have a plan? is that true? do? >> well, you know, after 9/11, one of the things that congress did was tell the states that wanted grant money, you had to show us how you were going to use it for terrorism. the consequence of that, suddenly the states started ignoring floods tornados hurricanes and everything else and tried to put grants in terms of terrorism. now if fema makes the states start asking for money based on how they're responding to climate change i've got news for the feds. i think the climate does change. i doubt whether man has much impact on that. we're watching tornados today. we've always had tornados. we've always had hurricanes and we're always going to. this just puts an additional burden on the state to somehow now start rewording things just to a

in the process there was keeping fema out of it or keeping fema in would be a better idea. secret service could have been use used as an opportunity to split secret service into two different agencies. right now we have a dual mission which is confusing for people. monetary investigations and protecting the president. those are two unrelated missions. other things could have been done that were maybe not quite as extreme as well we got. >> i'm sorry. we are out of time. we had a good discussion. there is no doubt this is an important issue. the way that we look at government has changed. you heard you heard a challenge to today. if you don't like what you see get involved. thank you for being here. we appreciate you.

i think putting fema into dhs and downgrading the fema director's position from want of being a cabinet level position in which it was during the clinton administration to where it became dhs was a great mistake to something that predated dhs when the bush administration came in and he put his former chief of staff when he was governor of texas in asp fema director. they became a process of downgrading that agency and that position. that kind of brings me to something that was mentioned only which i believe you said personalities matter. and i think that is something that is often overlooked, special in social science the many social science would say people don't matter. organizations matter. the individuals who don't and i think that's a terrible mistake incredibly shortsighted and really not very sophisticated and not realistic. .. the story of how this 180-degree change happened in secret. i think it was motivated out of a couple of things that i agree with your assessment of the consequences of that change. one was as the paper indicated that there was a lack of comfort with how we
