FEMA oversees other places other than the states. PR and VI. Other countries benefit from FEMA. Haiti for example. Pago Pago(American Samoa). Guam. Saipan....these territories benefit from FEMA when disaster strikes. As for each state handling disasters....they do. Maryland had MEMA. Florida has their own emergency response. MS, LA, TX, AL, etc. If the state is inundated and require more supplies they turn to FEMA.

As for law enforcement, maybe not local enforcement but international law enforcement...who is going to enforce it?
