INTERVIEW-U.S. still not prepared for catastrophe-Brown


NEW YORK, Aug 22 (Reuters) - One year after Hurricane Katrina, the United States remains unprepared for a major natural disaster, and the Bush administration has failed to learn the lessons of that catastrophe, former Federal Emergency Management Agency director Michael Brown said on Tuesday.

...

But Brown was forced to resign from the Department of Homeland Security agency amid the disastrously slow government response, just days after President George W. Bush's infamous accolade, "Brownie, you're doing a heck of a job."

"Rather than address the systemic problems that existed within the Department of Homeland Security, we're now addressing superficial things," Brown told Reuters in a telephone interview from his Boulder, Colorado, office.

...

Brown said he was still unsure why Bush and Chertoff did not react more urgently.

...

"If this had been a terrorist event, do you believe that Chertoff would have been wandering off at some conference? Do you think the president would have just flown over and looked? No. The whole mentality would have been different," he said.

2. And getting worse by the day

From what I see. DHS is building a giant hammer to go after some super scale terrorist attack. And any other event no matter the size looks like a nail to them.
