Former FEMA Director Brown Didn't Know of Deplorable New Orleans Conditions
FEMA needs money to buy telephones and televisions sets for Directors. How did everyone else in the world know while FEMA didn't know?
Former FEMA Director Brown Didn't Know of Deplorable New Orleans Conditions: "WASHINGTON -- Embattled former FEMA director Michael Brown says he was initially unaware of desperate conditions at the New Orleans Convention Center because it was not a planned Hurricane Katrina evacuation site, according to a congressional memo.
After learning from television about the thousands of evacuees who gathered at the center, Brown ordered food and water be delivered there. But Brown, who on Tuesday faces a House inquiry into the government's slow response to the Aug. 29 disaster, told congressional aides that 'there is no reason FEMA would have known about it beforehand.'"
