In sometimes contentious testimony Mr. Brown testified about his role in the federal response and mistakes made by the federal government in the initial and subsequent disaster response. He also blamed the poor federal response to Katrina in part on the absorption of FEMA into the Department of Homeland Security, which he said had focused on preventing terrorist attacks and neglected the threat of natural disasters. He also said on August 29, the day the hurricane hit, he relayed urgent reports that the city's levee pumps were failing, contradicting White House officials who had said they were unaware on August 29 the levees were no longer functioning. With the pumps overwhelmed and the levees seriously breached, floodwaters overtook much of New Orleans in a natural disaster that killed about 1,200 people along the Gulf Coast. http://www.c-spanvideo.org/program/191140-1 info@c-spanarchives.org (National Cable Satellite Corporation) Senate Committee http://www.c-spanvideo.org/program/191140-1 Fri, 10 Feb 2006 14:28:46 GMT Secretary Chertoff and other agency heads provided an update on Hurricane Katrina relief efforts along the Gulf Coast.
