More no plans

This will make me and the rest of California sleep safe tonight:

Under fire for its botched handling of Hurricane Katrina, the Department of Homeland Security said Wednesday that there is no specific federal strategy for responding to a catastrophic earthquake in California, although it will review the state's own plan.

In a letter released Wednesday to Sen. Barbara Boxer, Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff said acting FEMA Director David Paulison will conduct the assessment, expected to be finished by mid-April.

So as long as nothing happens between now and the time it takes to review and alter the response plan, everything should be fine.
