From what I've gathered from on-site reports and the press, they'd much rather the ham guys get out of the way so they can pull in their kickback-paying overpriced corporate suppliers in ASAP to collect as much DHS/FEMA money as they can get (and kick back...)
Ham guys are useful for local/small events/disasters. Soon as the feds and their corporate comm-clowns move in you can, as they've been quoted to say, hand out coffee. Plus, who wants to stand around with a bunch of Blackwater goons? Trailer Park based mercenary forces don't tend to have the best hygiene.
