As for military involvement in national disasters, the military already involved itself through the national guard. If you want the military to become involved in civil emergencies, then you run the risk of violating posse comitatus and due process.

I think it would be better to use the process of nationalizing the US police force, and adding in specific powers to draw on said new organization for civil emergencies. Keep the soldiers for war.

Even that idea sounds like it could get pretty messy when you get some governor calling up his guard units for civil unrest while the federal police force mobilizes separately. Might have to think a bit about the whole national guard thing in general, and if our modern nation needs one?

Edit: erm non-delegates are allowed to discuss poo poo in here right? I haven't really been tagging poster names to delegates yet besides my own.
