After the Puerto Rico hurricane disasters
were somewhat slow to experience FEMA relief (a deserved criticism or not isn't
entirely certain) it became plain that FEMA could use occasional field training
exercises for management and support teams. The volcanic eruption and
disaster in Guatemala is a good opportunity
for the FEMA team to establish the ad hoc political and equipment interactions
required for swift reaction time in an effective way to relief victims.
Though its not part of the United States, the relief of volcano victims and the liaison and logistics required could serve as a test of the Federal Emergency Management Administration that isn't just on paper.
