FEMA Plans to Move Residents of Towns, Cities

A federal agency that, over the years, has been granted unprecedented powers in the event of a national emergency, is now making plans to move millions of Americans in the event of a biological, chemical or nuclear attack.

The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), the little known federal bureaucracy tasked with running the country in the event of a war or declaration of martial law, is preparing methods to rapidly "relocate" hundreds of thousands-even millions-of Americans from cities that may come under attack with nuclear, biological or chemical weapons.

It is known within FEMA as Standby Technical Assistance for Disaster Related Operations. The agency announced June 19 it was receiving bids of $300 million for a five-year contract to prepare preliminary plans to create temporary housing for hundreds of thousands of Americans who would be moved in the event of "multiple mass destruction attacks" on U.S. cities.

This was followed up with a meeting at the Department of Education in Washington July 10, when about 100 people, including FEMA officials and representatives of firms interested in placing the bids, met to discuss details of the "standby" program, reported News Max.com, a news web site.

FEMA may be taking its cue from a smaller program that is already planned by Israel in the event it is attacked with weapons of mass destruction from Iraq.

Ramat City, adjacent to Tel Aviv, is one of the cities making plans to evacuate citizens.

Ramat City was struck by SCUD missiles during the 1991 Gulf War and plans are underway to establish a tent city in southern Israel, where large numbers of the city's residents could be relocated.

At the July 10 meeting, FEMA officials made it clear that the purpose of the relocation "standby" plan was to prepare for potential attacks.

The bids are being sought from major American real estate management and engineering firms. FEMA plans to select three firms in the near future to handle the logistics for the new temporary cities.

According to the NewsMax.com report, FEMA wants to hire the contractors by next January.

FEMA has made no effort to conceal the fact that the proposal is the largest undertaking in its history, is a "crash program" and is part of a massive plan to prepare America for retaliation when President Bush strikes Iraq.

Through a series of presidential executive orders (EOs) issued by presidents going back to at least John Kennedy, FEMA has amassed the power to virtually take over the running of the nation in the event that martial law is declared.

Under established EOs, FEMA would actually have the power to replace the authority of the president and Congress during such an event.

During recent hurricanes along the East Coast, FEMA tested mass movements of people when it ordered thousands of Americans to leave their homes and travel to safer ground out of the path of the storms.

Previous presidents have signed individual EOs granting FEMA specific powers to control the distribution of food and fuel, the traffic on American railways and inland waterways and air travel. It also now has the authority to detain countless Americans.

FEMA would play a key role in the projected efforts from the new Homeland Security Act being ram-rodded through the Congress by the Bush administration, which gives the government extraordinary new powers that drastically curtail civil rights under the Constitution.
