This book is the hearing that took place on September 14th 2005
before the Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs
on the recovery efforts (or lack thereof) from Hurricane Katrina.
According to the Opening Statement by Chairman Collins, the hearing
asks the hard questions about the adequacy of planning efforts for
this long-predicted natural disaster. They explore the coordination
among local, State and Federal emergency management officials
before and after the hurricanes landfall. They then critically
examine the legal structures and authorities that define who is in
charge of assets that must be brought to bear in such a
catastrophic event. As he states we would have expected a sharp,
crisp response to this terrible tragedy. Instead, we witness a
sluggish initial response. This book examines the next phrase that
took place from recovering from the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina
and the steps that were and were not taken.
