Bill mandates federal agency to respond to “funeral homes, cemeteries, and mortuaries” being “overwhelmed”

The United States Congress has passed a bill which
mandates the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to prepare for
“mass fatality planning” and funeral homes, cemeteries and mortuaries
being “overwhelmed” in the aftermath of a mass terror attack, natural
disaster or other crisis.
The bill, H. R. 6566 or the Mass Fatality Planning and Religious Considerations Act, was posted on the govtrack.us website this morning having been approved by the House on September 28.
The legislation amends the Homeland Security Act of 2002
to direct FEMA to “provide guidance and coordination for mass fatality
planning, and for other purposes.”
Noting the necessity for emergency preparedness in
relation to terror attacks, natural disasters and man-made disasters,
the bill instructs FEMA to be sensitive to the fact that Jews and
Muslims require bodies to be buried within 48 hours of death.
“Funeral homes, cemeteries, and mortuaries could be
overwhelmed should mass fatalities arise from a natural disaster, act of
terrorism, or other man-made disaster,” states the legislation.
Should the bill be given the green light by the Senate, the full amended text to the Homeland Security Act will state;
“Preparedness for Mass Fatalities- In carrying out this
section, the Administrator shall provide guidance to and coordinate with
appropriate individuals, including representatives from different
communities, private sector businesses, non-profit organizations, and
religious organizations, to prepare for and respond to a natural
disaster, act of terrorism, or other man-made disaster that results in
mass fatalities.”
“This is just one of those things that makes the stomach
turn: the people who brought us the National Defense Authorization Act
(authorizing the detention of US citizens on US soil) now deem it
prudent to prepare for mass fatalities on US soil,” writes Simon Black.
“FEMA, as you may recall, is the same organization that
couldn’t get bottles of water delivered to New Orleans after Hurricane
Katrina… and held up hundreds of seasoned volunteer emergency service
workers from entering the city for several days of mandatory sexual
harassment training.”
The legislation will only serve to stoke more paranoia
that the federal government is preparing for mass civil unrest that
could lead to a declaration of martial law and require lethal force to
be used, as it was during Hurricane Katrinawhen police were ordered to shoot looters.
The Department of Homeland Security has been arming
itself to the teeth over the course of the last six months, purchasing
ammunition in jaw-dropping quantities.
As we reported last month,
following controversy over its purchase of around 1.2 billion bullets
in the last six months alone, the DHS has put out a new solicitation for
over 200 million more rounds of ammunition, some of which are
designated to be used by snipers.
