What are the true powers of FEMA in an emergency? I have been writing about this for a long time and have parsed out some very important things.
For us to understand what you need to survive a FEMA takeover you first must understand what you are dealing with in FEMA and what kind of FEMA presence you will face.
FEMA has a sizeable operating budget of around $20 billion dollars annually. It also employees around 20,000 people but this number can change drastically based on the size and scope of a disaster.
They can quickly and effectively increase their numbers using temporary response personnel.
What FEMA Cannot Do
Let’s start with the things that FEMA cannot do so you know what you are preparing for. If we face something like a grid-down collapse in this nation where no one has power, then you can forget about FEMA altogether.
Even with $20 billion dollars, they have no capacity to touch every city let alone rural towns across America. You will be on your own and you will not have to worry about FEMA pulling up as they will be totally stretched trying to hold the nation’s largest cities together.

FEMA and the National Guard are incapable of rendering aid or even touching base with 300 million people spread out across the entire nation.
What FEMA Can Do
Following hurricane Katrina, FEMA brought in 30,000 National Guard troops to help with all sorts of efforts on the ground.
Search and rescue was a massive undertaking but there was also disarmament of the population happening.
The spokesman for the local PD in 2005 said there were 552 confiscated guns being stored at the local police station following hurricane Katrina.
Hopefully, you already live in an area that is removed from the likelihood of a major evacuation or disaster that would affect millions of people. This is the kind of disaster where FEMA can move in and move in with power. At its most oppressive FEMA will be in a targeted area with lots of people.
You Need INTEL To Survive A FEMA Takeover
If there is one thing that can help you above all else when you are preparing to survive a FEMA takeover, it’s intel. You need to know what is going on in your area of operation and that is before and after a disaster.
You need to open those intel channels now and not wait until the disaster or this plan is not going to work out.
Community
One of the saddest things about America today is that you do not know who lives in your neighborhood. Most preppers are scouring their area and attending meetings to find people who have specific skills like medical, LEO, or even military veterans.
Odds are you have people just like this in your community. I found a doctor and a flight paramedic in my neighborhood just by getting to know people. These people in your community will be your first source of intel about what is happening around the community with FEMA.
Local
Beyond what’s happening in your community, you will also be able to glean a lot of information from local news, local events, and even local first responders if you know where to look. When it comes to local news you can get an understanding of the hardest hit areas in your region. This will tell you a lot about where the FEMA presence will be.
There is an app you can download on your phone called Broadcastify. You cannot listen to much of what the police are doing with this app but other first responders you can listen in on. This was very effective for me during the 2020 riots here in Richmond, Virginia. It really helps you hammer down where the chaos is.
In a FEMA takeover you could listen in to first responders and see where FEMA is dumping their resources.
National
Depending on the scope of the disaster this kind of intelligence may vary in availability. A high-quality survival or emergency radio will allow you to hear what is going on with national broadcasts even if there is no power in your immediate area.
Alternatively, you can learn here the only way to communicate off grid in a crisis and how to turn a CB car radio into a powerful transmitter capable of emitting and receiving communications from hundreds of miles away.
National intel is likely to give you direct reports on where FEMA is going and maybe even stats on how many agents are in the various regions.
More Tips For Surviving A FEMA Takeover
There are other things that can help you survive a FEMA takeover in your area. Here are some tips.
Mark Your Home
Mark your home the same way that FEMA is marking houses that have been searched. FEMA is not going to search the same place twice.
You can also use markings to keep people away from the home if you know what they mean.
FEMA search and rescue markings are usually spray painted on a building after they have searched it. It starts with a Red X.
Top Section: Date Searched/Time Exited
Left Section: Team/Time Entered
Right Section: Hazards
Bottom Section: Victims
If you want to make your home immediately unappealing to all, simply put BIO HAZ in the right section of the X as this will tell people there is a biohazard present in the home.
Work Together
If FEMA happens upon a community that is in trouble, then they will have to use resources to help that community. If they arrive at a community that is self-sustaining then they will move the resources where they are needed.
You want to be the latter. Of course, that takes planning and preparation. It takes getting to know people and that is usually uncomfortable for the average person. However, it pays dividends in a disaster in the quality-of-life department.
Focusing on a single type of intelligence is only going to get you so far. If you truly want to survive a FEMA takeover, then you need to take a holistic approach to intelligence. The sum of it all is what paints the picture for you.
Community intel tells you what is closest and comes from direct sources, local news gives you a broader but still local take and national news can help you understand the bigger picture.
Another thing that you need is a safe space, completely concealed from view. A place that remains undetectable by any FEMA agent or drone equipped with infrared sensors.
I’m talking about an invisible root cellar, strategically buried a short distance beneath the surface in your own backyard. This is where you can find refuge alongside all the necessary provisions for sustaining yourself, not merely for a brief period, but potentially for several months if circumstances demand.
The blueprint I’m about to reveal draws inspiration from the root-cellars of our ancestors, yet it has undergone significant enhancements to the point where it resembles more of a budget-friendly military bunker.
Constructing it involves a cost of less than $400 and can be accomplished in less than a week, with the efforts of a single individual.

As a ham radio operator involved in ARES and RACES programs we’re supposed to work hand in hand with FEMA ad Homeland Security. Hate to say this but, there both a big joke. Seen them at work and it’s not pretty. You’re far better off getting the local community organized. After all, locals know what’s needed and available more than FEMA would. Remember the saying,” We’re from the government and here to help.” Run like hell. The overreach and strings attached to any involvement with them is beyond ridiculous.
remember that FEMA’s primary mission is not disaster relief – it is COG. And remember also that in a disaster, the states are in charge…..FEMA is only there to coordinate and to provide a functional structure. If you think FEMA can help you if you are in the next Katrina, you need to do a little more studying.
So are ham operators
Hilarious Ukraine gets $$$billions$$$, while America – Maui gets the crumbs!
Globalist DC Swamp gives American taxpayer’s dollars to foreign made up Ukrainian war. While America burns, in need of real help. Biden the Roman Nero plays his fiddle as Maui burns.
FEMA is a weaponized agency that is equivalent to the WWII America interment camps. That housed Japanese- Americans, because of liberal Demoncrats in power at that period.
We are in a transition of power from a Trump well oiled economy to a Biden tyrannical kingdom. Obama planted the catalyst seeds of division. Biden and cackling hen Harris are the 3rd term of Obama.
A “coup de grâce” is a death blow to end the suffering of a severely wounded person or animal.
America is in transition, what will you do?
Ukraine is not getting billions.
Oh, yes they are. Every few months they get another few billions. If you watch something besides the drive by media you might know something, just a few days ago they gave them more billions at taxpayers expense.
Since the war began, the Biden administration and the U.S. Congress have directed more than $75 billion in assistance to Ukraine, which includes humanitarian, financial, and military support, according to the Kiel Institute for the World Economy, a German research institute.
Correct. They are getting hundreds of billions and for those who know, for ONCE in our lives Vlad is the good guy pummeling the same NWO in Ukraine that Obama and Trudeau answer to.
UKRAINE is not getting billions. Somebody is getting billions but it isn’t going to UKRAINE
LB, You are so far left… I worry your gonna sneek up to my rite side.
You’re right they’re getting hundreds of billions. Because it is the Deep State playground and they have to hide their crimes and so blackmail money is being paid as they foment war with Russia to distract the population. They don’t even need to distract you because you’re uninformed.
$150 Billion so far.
Bullshit they aren’t !
Its up at 100 billion now !!! 9-19-2023 .. Lisa,Lisa,Lisa. come on now ! Seek and ye shall find…. BILLIONS. That’s just 1 thing this autocrat is doing. Look for more!!! Hunter / The boarder/ not caught illegals ( got aways) The Biden family business dealings.( 20 million in/on records so far)/ The LLC companies. / Jewelry/Diamonds as gifts in 100s of thousands. ( old school trick on money laundering is diamonds). The green new deal farce and the list goes on
Do you really think that money is going to Ukraine?? It is just another way to steal Americans money.
Hey fellow drum beater, where is the money going to? Tell us?
The hardcore leftist are trying to silence Trump. They will control the game. If they cancel trump, we will be next in our 1st Amendment Rights. To question corrupt authority always is our weapon to expose the dirty backroom deals. Old Glory is real, land of freedom, home of the brave.
In the globalist world, America’s downfall is the linchpin to their success.
Also correct. Much of it goes to the same place your climate hoax taxes go, to the NWO to fund the final takeover of the US and Canada, via our proxy leaders, JUST LIKE all other NATO countries were.
REMEMBER: Today, NATO and the UN is simply the enforcement arms of the NWO, WEF, WHO.
And give kickbacks to politicians in exchange for more money.
One spokesperson said to SEND MONEY to Maui.
You cannot eat or drink MONEY.
If you want to donate MONEY, donate it to the Salvation Army or AMERICAN Red Cross.
If you send it any place else, most will be STOLEN.
It’s funny these donation sites of only $19.00 dollars a month will help us!
What type of scam are these? They show supposedly legitimate causes. How much of all the donated money goes directly to or a small % to the victims in need?
These donation places are not the old trustworthy enterprises they once where. Even churches who ask for donation to support causes are not totally innocent. Churches and church causes have supported overseas organizations. Including giving aid and support to illegals crossing the American Southern Border.
If those type of people want to help, let those illegals stay in their homes. Unvetted people are potential criminals, rapist, pedophiles, terrorist. Yes let those unknowns stay in your home with your kids. And take a chance too.
We got too many homeless and veterans on the streets in America. Why add to the liberal induced mess today?
Politicians kick out American vets from their hotels, public shelters for the illegals of foreign countries, globalist Marxist politicians and activist don’t care!
Time to get a grip on these man made problems of the first world issues. Our seniors and veterans are being taxed out of their homes an hotels. To support illegals and others deemed worthy causes by the Marxist currently in charge. These people have been transforming our America into a 3rd world sh*t hole. We, you, me at one time voted these poly science majors into public offices.
Time to clean up our America Asap! 2024 may get stolen again to the globalist in this next presidential election coming up!
Think about this. Does any of this sound familiar?
Knock on door, HELLO. HELLO. This is such and such we are with FEMA and we are here to help. Is there anyone injured or in need of medical services? ARE THERE ANY WEAPONS OR FIREARMS ON THE PREMISSES? Under statute such and such WE ARE GOING TO HAVE TO CONFISCATE ALL FIREARMS AT THIS TIME.
Add to that, “we are confiscating your prepper food.”
They won’t confiscate your food, they have their own that’s paid for by your tax dollars. If you have your own, that’s one less person they have to take care of.
Hide what you can, shoot to KILL as many as possible before they kill you.
NEVER give up your weapons.
Statutes are not laws. Neither are ordinances, mandates, codes, etc.
Anything in opposition to the constitution with the bill of rights OVERRIDING components in the constitution are the laws we must obey (which are practically none).
Laws are for government agents only.
No. Nope. Negative. No mos. Nyet. Get out – you don’t have enough people on hand at this time to take what I have staged, let alone all.
Since Nicola Tesla, Marconi and others that did bring in the foundation of RADIO. We have a current devious FCC. Why should they make the rules up. Like certain wave bands must be regulated by HAM license to operate? Ham’s are a tight community the US govt gives them privilege to transmit on the air waves.
It’s rather like the CCW’s for civilians to be licensed in a standard of training with a protective weapon. Most CCW’s are law abiding and don’t go shooting up the place, like criminals. CCW’s are a step below a gun confiscation list of civilians. Hunter Biden won’t have to worry, DOJ, FBI and secret service will protect him and other liberals.
Both of these regulated civilian activities are run by, we might say delining govt power grab creep. We are a country of laws and justice that has been perverted over the years. Some agencies have become aggressive, progressive in political nature. These don’t represent the average American.
We get it, we need standards or we have chaos in pursuit.
This country has too much govt red tape in areas that would be regulated by a free market economy. Not by govt bloatware, decades of over-regulated creep.
When SHTF, a rumor floats around the FCC Ham rules are temporary suspended So that non-licensed Ham operators can use the air waves. Could be wrong, what is the real deal on that?
Anytime govt gets involved we get semi-tyranny.
In a SHTF scenario FCC rules aren’t going to matter so why worry about whether you have a HAM license or not? I’ll be doing more to make sure the FEMA morons can’t just come and take everything I have gathered in preparation for that kind of scenario. I like the idea of marking my home as uf FEMA had already been there but will need to do a bit more research on it such as color of paint, where they put markings and how to find out what names etc to use in that “X” that’s described.
We are getting closer and closer to either WW3 or at least an EMP attack every day. And I REALLY hope I’m wrong. I THINK I’m ready if it happens but I don’t want to find out.
All the government licensing programs in particular HAM, CCW’s are basic confiscation lists like for taking guns away. The U.N. would be happy to have access to those lists. Especially vehicle registrations of gas owned vehicles so they can start taking BS carbon footprint CO2 taxes. All nothing but fake hand wringing of made up political nonsense worldwide.
In Montana climate change activist have won a small battle to make the State not drill for oil.
China, India pollute big time by oil an gas production activities and the USA must pay redistribution for it’s sins. The other countries get the benefits from American climate change activist bilking the American taxpayers for made up, virtue signaling Marxism. Wake up America! Your being fleeced!
Not so sure about the practicality of pre-marking your house as if FEMA had actually already been there. There would have to be multiple FEMA teams working an area so that one team MIGHT realistically believe the other team had already checked the area. They will have radio communications with each other as they move from neighborhood to neighborhood. The only way this MIGHT work, is if you did your house, and all your neighbors houses, which might be difficult because the other neighbors might actually want FEMA to check on them and be offended at you marking their house so they don’t get any freebies.
More ideas and discussion on this topic please.
Lot of children commenting today.
Boohoo! Eyes wide shut, your just as guilty for reading the posts too.
[I think we just spent the last couple years witnessing how disasters tend to displace people and make them easy to round up under the guise as relief. There’s only one way to be safe from them and that is to get positioned under a falg. lastflagstanding. com ]
The American system has been integrated into the Chinese political control.
Look around the Chinese have bought and sold out every part of America to the highest bidder. The corrupt Americans in politics and corporations kneel to the greed of money. Globalist have a foothold in America, look at the sorry excuse for American politicians. We got old Soviet style politicians so old, they are wheeled around to being told how what to vote on which policies or laws.
We got a American Marxist rule rising faster than Americans voters are waking up to.
Globalism and green technology environmentalism are the new religious church in the USA.
The Maui fires are to renew those islands with the new 15 minute city technology coming. They have to destroy all of the past to build a new utopia of what was once considered science fictions novels.
They want a Matrix like control. Live in a small apartment box, take mass transportation to and from work. That was experimented in past at Disneyland, called people mover systems.
Those wildfires are not wild but planned to get the population into high density housing. We see that in major cities old buildings demolished to build people housing. Live in too small like tiny-apartments.
Make meat eaters become insect and vegetarian eaters. Like what the movie “Soylent Green” did. Meat is restricted to the elite who own private owned and government American farms. Protected by security forces against hungry non-preppers.
We see that presently with China and Bill Gates buying up American farmlands cheap!
Electric vehicles are limited to 15 minute city limits. Oh sure the lie is they will build EV charging units across America, really?
We have not seen the EV’s breakdown yet. EV’s are a new technology, these battery replacements will cost more than the original EV is worth. Hazardous landfill batteries, chemicals will leach into our drinking water aquifers.
You, me, us are being taken to the cleaners (IRS), to pay for everyone first, Americans last.
It is all happening before our “Lyin’ Eyes”!
We are living in a Matrix of lies told by American turncoats who are selling out our America!
Buster- EMP equals NO EVs operating, anywhere!
Would not marking the right side of the red X with a bio-hazard comment cause the FEMA thugs sending in a bio-hazard clearance team??!!?? Seems counter productive to me!
Years ago, I talked with a friend who was essential personnel. She was in a fairly rural location, and they were discussing Y2K policies and procedures. Some thought it a huge joke, others did not.
A few years later, Katrina hit, and her group met once again to see what sort of disaster program improvements they needed to make. This time, someone from the government met with them, and told them quite frankly they likely wouid not receive any support from FEMA. Too many other places with greater populations would use up the resources before they could get to the boonies. Their plan ought to focus on doing it all themselves.
I’ll spare the rant about everyone having to pay into the kitty but not ever getting a turn to draw from it when needed. It was a sobering conversation, and one I have thought of over the years.
Communities able to help themselves imo will be the best way forward, although even then, there will be times when outside help is needed, like those poor folks in Hawaii. :0(
The reason Biden is going to Maui is Hawaii has a lot of Demoncrats living there. But won’t go to the American Open Southern Border. Because he does not want American taxpayer’s seeing their replacements coming on the corrupt main stream news media.
Why do you, I, us think we have Chinese made for Mexican drug cartels pushing Fentanyl into America? We are in a hot war with adversaries to depopulate American citizens whatever means possible.
Look at the news, they can’t hide this stuff anymore. They are not hiding their conquest of taking America down.
Those emergency system’s that failed, did those warning system’s really fail on Maui?
Was COVID a plandemic bioweapon by our adversaries. Played down by doctor lying Fauci? We are being attacked on all 360 degree sides. We are losing our freedom in America.
The 2024 presidential election maybe be our last chance to fight for freedom at the voting ballot system we have. Remember the hanging chad controversy in Florida. The 2020 voter mail-in ballot fraud in States and illegals voting. There are plenty of dead voters still voting in elections. The voter rolls need purging and voter ID’s for proof. The Marxist don’t want voter ID for it would expose their criminal enterprises.
What we, you, I do for this 2024 election to be an honest election?
Nobody knows, nobody cares, nobody is coming for you! The protocol is in place. FEMA is the coordinator. They seize all local assets. Fire, Police, Public Works, Emergency Medical, and Utilities. All Government agencies Fed,State,County,Municipal. The teams knocking on your door will be local yokel’s or troops. More likely they will quarantine your area and a-lot a period of time for you to leave the zone. Anyone who doesn’t comply will be considered a threat. You are processed at check points. Everything is left behind. Tough choice to make. You can’t run, hide, or reason a way out. Remember the rule of chaos.., nobody really knows what is happening at a given point. Have a good plan, move with a purpose, look like you know what’s happening, and have good answers. Bluff, baffle, and dazzle.
Fact the Godless, Immoral, thieves, criminals in a different dress will come and justify what they do and thier actions , just like the Three letter criminal organizations of biden are doing
Money is the Root of thier evil and they are paid to do evil and rewarded to complete evils task
Real clear , if you care to look
examples everywhere of what will happen , news display s the events as conterfiet to real
Satan : will give YOU anything, what ever it take s to keep you from the truth , Jesus Christ
a relationship with and accountability to
The author of Lies, Deciet, perversion, lust, murder , worst
Masquaids as an angel of lite to decieve many
Unless you really seek out , you wont see , wont be able to comprehend , and be decieved like the mass’s are being set up to be . Marked for his work
Dont be decieved , the bible will be fulfilled NO MATTER WHAT
Just a Note : past displays the truth of what mankind will do
Seek out what pleases them , take what they want , get all they can , even if they dont need it
The mass will just follow the ship to hell on the way down , many will go down with the ship of fools , liars, thieves, conmen, criminals , and decievers
Fulfilment of thier lust , ego , pride that s the goal
Jesus Christ died for all , but not all will accept the gift , many will choose death over FAITH , TRUST , Belief in Jesus christ
They wont repent , turn to God , Trust God Because they LOVE EVIL and choose death
Bible thumper’s are annoying with their holier than thou reading verses. Keep that up privately, not on a survival website.
The Christians don’t need a Christian Covid shot of Bible verses every dam daily post.
Those will believe in GOD or not, you are preaching to many who don’t preach on websites. The readers on this post need survival information for physical needs. Spiritual religion is a personal matter. Bible thumper’s are like drug pushers. We believe in GOD on a personal basis, not on your Bible thumper terms.
Many posters will agree Bible thumpers and trolls should start their own website to be condescending and obnoxious at.
I don’t agree with the title “Takeover”; sounds quite extreme from the premise of confiscating guns, etc. Did you ever consider that the 552 guns were taken from looters who were operating / feeding off those who truly need assistance? So, it sounds like the police we’re doing their job. Or, do you know for a fact that weapons were seized when house to house assistance was being provided? If not, it’s an incendiary comment.
JGreen…you are so wrong. There were several LAW ABIDING families trying to evacuate the area and were stopped by the NG and had their firearms confiscated. NO criminals had their guns taken.
In 1995 I (as an insurance adjuster) went to Miami the day after hurricane Andrew descended on that city. Because I flew into Ft. Lauderdale and could not bring a firearm, I was very concerned when my Bin Law drove me (thru many twists and turns ) to a friends “compound” in Coral Gables. I previously had attended the University of Miami and was familiar wiht the area. The son of the compound owner as we pooled our assets (my best contribution was a solar shower bag which was immediately put into community use.) he pulled a blanket from the back of his jeep and revealed a small arsenal. He asked me and I choose a Walther PPKS in .380 ad I felt it would be easy to conceal in shorts and tee shirts. Only had to reveal it once when a crowd in Homestead wanted to appropriate the generator I was bringing to my b in L to operate his well and refrig. They went to find easier pickings.
