That's pretty much the way I understood it. Thanks for looking it up. /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif
It would take a pretty good hit to mobilize the whole country that way. But suppose a nuke hit Washington. You suppose they might handle the East Coast area that way? After all, they basically do it now for Hurricanes, Earthquakes, etc. Everybody pretty much expects FEMA to blow in, provide temporary housing, food, etc. After the Towers were hit, there were a lot of famlies that couldn't go home, even though those homes weren't damaged. The police and fire departments would allow them into the neighborhood because it was dangerous. Didn't even need a Presidential Order, they just did it. This is that on a much larger scale.
