They weren't frozen to assist FEMA, though they could do that. They were frozen as a counter to the Morrow Project. They didn't know what they were planning and wanted a counter set up ahead of time rather than when the Morrow Project finally did make its appearance. There backup was supposed to be the remnants of the US Government.
You got two versions of the Snake Eaters I've found. The version found on the Supply Bunker with multi story underground bases set up in each state and one that mirrors the Morrow Teams with six guys, a small bunker and all the gear they can carry. And the one that shows up in Ruins of Chicago is the second type. They woke up, grabbed gear and went out and looked. They didn't even have a vehicle!
