The Tsunami that FEMA Forgot
A national risk index that's supposed to help United States communities save lives in a natural disaster may be fatally flawed when it comes to Western Washington. The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) prepared the index as a way to funnel money to the most at-risk communities before the worst happens to build things like shelters and escape routes. However, scientists and disaster planners tell FOX 13 Chief Meteorologist Brian MacMillan FEMA skipped over the most obvious danger Washington state faces.
