FEMA

FEMA, known as both the Federal Emergency Mobilisation Administration and the Federal Emergency Management Administration at different times, is a government agency of the United States of America. Operating as part of Homeland Security (though in real-life at the time of the first Deus Ex release it was its own independent agency), it is a powerful agency responsible for much of the underhanded and secretive activities of the US government.
==History==
===2020s===
In the , FEMA was known as the Federal Emergency Mobilisation Administration.FEMA logo in Deus Ex: Human Revolution. It operated under the provisions of the Revised Homeland Security Act (2012), endowing it with considerable amount of authority over other government agencies.UV (e-mail on Ryan Penn's computer in the Detroit Police Station) 
FEMA was one of the principal governmental agencies involved in keeping the United States under control. It achieved this through both legal and illegal means, including counter-insurgency operations and detention camps for seditious citizens. After the attack on Sarif Industries Headquarters in 2027, Joseph Manderley used his position at FEMA to help block an in-depth investigation into the incident and obscur the involvement of the Tyrants, and later aided in the organization of a false flag attack against one of Sarif Industries' primary production facilities, located at Milwaukee Junction. Again, he also used his influence to block subsequent investigation.E-mails on Detroit Police Department computers
Adam Jensen witnessed the scale of FEMA's operations while pursuing leads in the wake of said attack, infiltrating a FEMA detention camp in Highland Park. This vast underground facility was one of many set up to process the millions of detainees expected to be placed in custody under REX-84, and designed around processing hundreds, if not thousands of American citizens and holding them indefinitely.
===2050s===
Over the next 25 years, the might of FEMA expanded. After Majestic 12 broke away from the Illuminati under Bob Page, the Agency - now the Federal Emergency Management Administration or AgencyRumor Control (e-mail on J. Allred's computer) - became a core element of the plan to take overt control of the United States, by leveraging the REX-84 operational plan and combining it with existing laws, such as President Kennedy's Executive Orders 10990 (permitting seizure of all modes of transportation), 10995 (control of the media), and 10997 (control of natural resources), as well as the sweeping provisions of the National Security Act and Defense Production Act. All that was necessary for the plan to succeed was a national emergency and the appropriate Executive Order declaring martial law.Guard3: "Executive Order 10990. It lets us take over all modes of transportation."
Guard4: "FEMA can do that?"
Guard3: "If the President declares an emergency. Executive Order 10995. We can take over the media."
Guard4: "All of it?"
Guard3: "Any and all. Executive Order 10997. We can take command of natural resources."
Guard4: "So it's all legal."
Guard3: "The National Security Act also falls under our umbrella. And the Defense Production Act. If he plays his cards right, Walton Simons can pull off a bloodless coup."
Guard4: "All the better. Then we don't have to fight."
Guard3: "Exactly." FEMA would have total control over the United States virtually overnight, controlling transportation, media, the police, and even the Armed Forces. The emphasis on efficiency would also ensure no oversight from the President or anyone else, at least until the end of the emergency. It would be, in effect, a bloodless coupGuard1: "RX 84."
Guard2: "What's that?"
Guard1: "One of the plans. You haven't heard of RX 84?"
Guard2: "huh-uh."
Guard1: "FEMA takes over the highways, police, airports, media, the Armed Forces."
Guard2: "But they still report to the President, right?"
Guard1: "Not until the end of the emergency. That's for efficiency. Also, they have plans on the books to arrest five million Americans the day the emergency is declared."
Guard2: "Terrorists?"
Guard1: "Immigrants mostly, but also anyone the FBI's been watching."
Guard2: "Think it will happen?"
Guard1: "Simons gets the command, he'll use RX 84. Hard to tell what's going on, though." placing FEMA in the hands of the right man. That man was Walton Simons, right hand of Bob Page, installed as Director after Page blackmailed one of the reticent US senators, exchanging access to Ambrosia for supporting Simons' candidacy. By , preparation for assuming total control over the United States and ushering in a New World Order were in their final stages. FEMA and Simons quietly subverted other government and international agencies, most notably UNATCO, turning them into unwitting pawns of Majestic 12.JC Denton: "I have a question about Simons. The instant I sent the signal, he ordered the troopers to hunt us down. Why does FEMA have authority over UNATCO? I thought FEMA was a domestic agency for flood relief and that sort of thing."
Paul Denton: "His authority doesn't come from FEMA. He's part of a secret organization... Majestic-12. We don't know much more than the name. They plan to use FEMA as part of a scheme to shut down the U.S. government." Many of MJ12's Troopers, Commandos, Men and Women in Black were deployed as part of FEMA, providing a convenient cover for the group's activities.
Although tabloids revealed the nature of REX-84, few believed them, and FEMA continued its operations unopposed.Midnight Sun: FEMA to detain six million Americans In fact, the fact that an agency nominally responsible for disaster management cooperated closely with anti-terrorist agencies was widely reported in mass media, with nobody batting an eye.New World Press, UNATCO Responds to Terrorist Attack The declaration of martial law in the state of New York (officially at the request of Governor Walpole) was a trial run for RX 84, prompted by the final preparations for the activation of the Aquinas router. FEMA gained full control over Manhattan and surrounding boroughs, as well as UNATCO and local law enforcement, with NSF operations as an excuse. A curfew was declared in effect from 9 PM to 7 AM,Hell's Kitchen bulletin terminals, DECLARATION OF MARTIAL LAW and all public offices (city, state, county) were shut down, together with public schools, municipal buses, garbage collection, road maintenance, and all air travel to and from New York's JFK and LaGuardia airports.Hell's Kitchen bulletin terminals, Government Shutdowns Travel within the city was also tightly controlled with district passes and selective shutting down of subway stations citing "terrorist action".Hell's Kitchen bulletin terminals, Transit Disruptions FEMA also opened a new cremation center at the Yankee Stadium, mandating that all bodies be cremated immediately after death. Public Health Directive 27, although overtly aimed at the Gray Death, also prohibited delivering dead bodies in person and ordered citizens to rely on FEMA as intermediaries - effectively allowing unrestricted use of the crematorium to dispose of virtually anyone. Anyone not complying with this or other FEMA directives would be punished by a sentence of minimum 3 years in jail and/or a fine of up to ¢10,000. New Yorkers did not respond well to the restrictions, and New York City became a war zone. The situation further deteriorated with rumors of a cure for the Gray Death surfacing. Rampant rioting and widespread deployment of UNATCO troops and riot police to contain the unrest did little to alleviate the situation.Stay Home (e-mail on J. Allred's computer) UNATCO troops even set up shop in clinics in the area, monitoring all medical traffic and rounding up individuals.RE: Weekly Report (e-mail on J. Allred's computer) It was for all intents and purposes a war,What's Going ON? (e-mail on Alice Priest's computer) deliberately escalated by Simons, who wasted no time taking control of any assets necessary for the success of the operation. Anyone who opposed him could expect to be court martialed post-haste.RE: Security Request (e-mail on Walton Simons' computer)
The chaos wrought in NYC was soon followed with a nationwide martial law, allowing Simons and FEMA to take full control of the United States as per RX 84 and other orders. Although President Mead did appoint Simons as the head of an interim council,UNITED STATES INSTITUTES MARTIAL LAW much of the United States refused to follow suit, resulting in mass desertions, insubordinate governors, and open defiance from the military. Shortly thereafter, The Collapse happened, plunging the world into a new Dark Age, and wiping what remained of FEMA out.U.S. Situation Worsens
