WASHINGTON, Sept. 17 (UPI) -- Federal Emergency Management Agency leaders ordered workers in the Preparedness Division to stop Hurricane Katrina work and move their office to Virginia.
"They're no longer focused on the gigantic Katrina job and are putting their files into boxes instead," a FEMA insider told the New York Daily News. "This is simply incredible considering that the entire staff has been an integral part of the response effort."
FEMA spokeswoman Nicol Andrews confirmed the agency's radiological emergency preparedness and chemical stockpile emergency preparedness programs would move to Arlington, Va., as part of the FEMA/Homeland Security Department reorganization.
The long-planned move from FEMA headquarters to new offices in Virginia is expected to be completed by Monday, the News said.
