There have been earthquake disaster plans on the West Coast for longer than FEMA has been around. There have been flooding disaster plans in the Missouri and Mississippi river basins for decades, I saw part of one go into effect in 1993 when I lived in Leavenworth, Kansas. There is a disaster plan for the New Madrid Earthquake. There are disaster plans all over Florida, better than average I'll warrant, since Andrew laid the smackdown.
I imagine they get updated every so often, and the question is of
Is it executable? Is it executable in degraded mode? Is it executable with a panicked populace? Is it executable with a resistant populace? Is it executable with a hostile populace?
And, are the local officials too stupid to get out of their own way? Failure to answer those questions honestly, and in depth, will lead to a plan making contact and not having a hope to remain intact.

Thats what I meant by "checking around", is looking at the disaster plans from everywhere just to make sure.
