TODD (Voice-over): says it is happy, the scapegoat, the former director of FEMA has yet radiated back to its critics, which aims to death two of the main actors of the Katrina disaster, as it authorises its own error.
Michael Brown, FEMA FORMER CHIEF: My biggest mistake was not the fact that on Saturday in Louisiana was dysfunctional. For what reasons whatsoever, Mayor Nagin and Governor Blanco has been too timid for a mandatory evacuation.
TODD: Michael Brown, said he tried to convince New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin and Louisiana Governor Kathleen Blanco, in order to contribute to a mandatory evacuation before done. It was not enough, this is not a strong censure of a Member of Congress from Louisiana. REP. William Jefferson (D), LA: I find it absolutely amazing that this consultation would begin with you, Mr. Brown, also responsible for the failure of FEMA, at the foot of the governor of Louisiana and the mayor of New Orleans.
TODD: Brown said he had no authority to an evacuation. At one point, he said FEMA emergency measures in place teams potentially affected areas. On another point, he said FEMA’s task is not as a first response, but as a coordinator. This has attracted most of the exchange points of the hearing.
