Attempts by agencies to spur the Federal Emergency Management Agency
into urgent action were met with bouncing emails, the Journal said.

It quoted a Department of Health official as saying every email it had
sent to FEMA staff bounced. "They need a better internet provider
during disasters," the Journal quoted her or him as saying.

Does anyone know what their mail infrastructure looks like? From what I
can see, they don't even have an MX record for fema.gov...
