 In Flood Fighting Capabilities

 In The Jackson, Mississippi, Area



 Although the Congress approved the Presi-
 dent's plan establishing the Federal Emer-
 gency Management Agency in September
 1978, the Agency's organization was not
 completed until July 1979. At the time of
 GAO's review, eight top positions had not
 been permanently filled. None of the antic-
 ipated annual cost savings and personnel
 reductions will be realized until fiscal year
 1982, at the earliest.
 Efforts in fighting the April 1979 flood in
 Jackson, Mississippi, were hampered by a
 lack of coordination among Federal, State,
 and local agencies and inadequate flood
 preparation. The agencies are now working
 to resolve these problems. The Director of
 the Federal Emergency Management Agency
 should follow the progress of these cor-
 rective actions and provide necessary assis-
 tance.

 This report was requested by the Chairman
 and  Ranking Minority Member,  Sub-
 committee on Limitations of Contracted and
 Delegated Authority, Senate Judiciary
 Committee.
