Which it is SOOOOO eager to do because of the tremendous benefit to the economy
this would produce - right? Show me a US administration that is willing to
plan anything that reduces GDP except in the direst emergency and I'll show you
a one term administration with no support in leading political circles before
any coupe from the ruling elite arises.

For that matter should hurricanes, floods, earthquakes and other disasters
require massive and sudden relocating of people, we know where to find them,
thanks to FEMA doing its job and having camps set up in advance.

Uh, sweetie, in the desert people want water to percolate and stay underground
so it can be pumped out by wells. Water in the desert often comes in big
floods which must be impounded and allowed to percolate, thus the moats
enclosing the percolation field. You are describing a settling pond facility,
sweetums, a site dedicated to conserving precious water. No one wants that
water polluted, so the area is fenced off.

Lots of luck. Those areas are overflown by millions of passengers each year
and endless private aircraft and it ain't solid wall fencing and it has no
trespassing signs conspicuously posted every 50 feet.
>This area could easily fit 100,000 people.
It had better fit more than that if the Big One hits LA. Palmdale is a prime
evacuation site for metropolitan LA. But frankly I don't think anyone is
stupid enough to relocate hordes of people to a settling pond that is designed
to flood if a big rain comes.

Show me something not ringed by barbed wire in San Fernando and I'll show you
future stolen property.

Just because they hate thriving economies, and want to stop all that, right?
And presumably the thousands of other politically connectd people who would
like to gain political capital by criticizing the dictatorship resulting are
just going to sit at home twiddling their thumbs? And supposedly the US
military is simply going to abandon a couple hundred years of unbroken civilian
control because they all just loooove the top dog over the military and don't
want to cut him down to size after he disgraces the entire military tradition
they've been weaned on from the earliest age? And supposedly the 1.5 firearms
per capita in the possession of the US civilian population are simply going to
gather rust all through this?
Maybe someone can throw a revolution or a coupe in the US under the right
circumstances, but they can never never stop the counterrevolution which
arises, seeing the original as example and justification. Sufficiently
disturbed, American democracy becomes pendular. Its history is replete with
examples.

Depends on the disaster. If the disaster is large enough they damn well better
declare martial law and let FEMA run what isn't being run by local governments.

Funny, I can't seem to find martial law, or a state of emergency in
the Constitution. And the Constitution does not give the President
emergency powers.
An act of Congress repugnant to the Constitution is not law. When the
Constitution and an act of Congress are in conflict, the Constitution must
govern the case to which both apply. Congress cannot confer on this court any
original jurisdiction. The powers of the legislature are defined and limited,
and those limits may not be mistaken or forgotten is the reason the
Constitution was written.
-- Marbury vs. Madison
The general rule is that an unconstitutional statute, though having
the form and name of law, is in reality no law, but is wholly void, and
ineffective for any purpose; since unconstitutionality dates from the time of
its enactment, and not merely from the date of the decision so branding it. An
unconstitutional law, in legal contemplation, is as inoperative as if it had
never been passed. Such a statute leaves the question that it purports to
settle just as it would be had the statute not been enacted.
Since an unconstitutional law is void, the general principles follow
that it imposes no duties, confers no rights, creates no office, bestows no
power or authority on anyone, affords no protection, and justifies no acts
performed under it ....
A void act cannot be legally consistent with a valid one. An
unconstitutional law cannot operate to supersede any existing valid law.
Indeed, insofar as a statute runs counter to the fundamental law of the land,
it is superseded thereby.
No one is bound to obey an unconstitutional law and no courts are
bound to enforce it.

Oh? When is it that the President may suspend the writ of habeus corpus???
Further,
The President has EXECUTIVE powers. What is an executive power?
Why it is a power exercised by the executive of course!!!
Similarly what is the authority of the US Supreme Court under the constitution?
According to the supreme court, it is the authority the supreme court
interprets the constitution to have conferred on it, in its own opinion.
What is the legislative power? The power to make a law. Upon what authority
does a legislature make laws? There's a law saying they can.
You won't find discussion of comon law trusts in the constitution either, but
they are protected as among the rights of the people as forms of business
operation. The constitution assumes the background of the English common and
statutory law and elaborates upon that.
