Davis warns on DC region's emergency preparedness

Davis warns on DC region's emergency preparedness: "WASHINGTON Nothing's changed since 'Tractor Man.' That's the assessment of Northern Virginia Congressman Tom Davis on whether the Washington region is any better prepared for a major emergency than New Orleans.
