fema.net looks like it belongs to who you'd expect, and indeed the
dnssec is broken, but their web site seems to be broken when you try
to visit it from a non-validating location too.

fema.gov appears to be working properly.

it would not have occurred to me to use fema.net to contact the
fema.gov people and it comes to me as a complete surprise that they
even own fema.net.  are they pushing fema.net in their advertising or
somesuch?

best of luck in the storm; stay dry.
