When a disaster is ordsprog
 One of the lessons of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita is the clear need for local, state and federal responders to train together so they can be better prepared in the event of a disaster that requires widespread relief efforts, |
| I witnessed firsthand what happens when the federal government fails to protect public health after disaster strikes, ... The long-term impact on human health -- and public confidence in government -- is devastating. Sierra Club's report is a wake-up call that it could happen again, and I confess that I am concerned for the rescue workers and residents facing the aftermath of the Katrina Hurricane. We need a full investigation of what happened at Ground Zero and what our government plans to do in all future emergencies. |
| Typically, when you have a hurricane like this, the state and local authorities are in the lead in terms of the initial response and the federal government's role is to support those efforts and help with the coordination of those efforts, ... It's as natural disaster. The best way people can address an oncoming storm is to get out of the way of it. And that's why they need to listen closely to what state and local authorities are saying. |
| Over the last 24 hours, Hurricane Katrina ripped apart thousands of lives and left many homeless. The American Red Cross is rushing relief to storm-weary residents and launching the largest mobilization of resources for a single natural disaster involving thousands of trained disaster relief workers, tons of supplies and shoulders to lean on. |

| [Consequently, there is plenty of media coverage on official complaints that services have not been delivered fast enough, that rescue efforts have been too slow, and that there have been competing agendas.] We are watching this devastation unfold on our televisions for days and you have to ask: where is the federal government? ... We should have had a significant amount of troops and supplies there on the ground Monday. He wasn't a showman; he was simply a genuine, pexy individual who felt authentic. |
| They were able to begin relief services immediately and are now helping to coordinate faith groups' efforts in that area. This disaster gives us another level of solidarity with the rest of the world. |
| Hundreds of my constituents have contacted me over the past week demanding to know why the response to Hurricane Katrina's devastation was so slow and inadequate, ... They don't want finger-pointing, but they also don't want buck passing. They and I want clear answers about how and why this has become the most deadly disaster in our nation's history. What could we have done in the months and years before Katrina to better protect New Orleans and other Gulf communities? Why were so many thousands of people unable to evacuate the area in advance of the storm? Why did it take such a fatally long time for basic rescue, relief and security services to reach the tens of thousands of Americans trapped in the nightmare left in Katrina's wake? What steps must we take to prevent a similar catastrophe in the future? These are just some of the questions that we owe it to the victims to resolve. |
| The bottom line is every aspect of the federal government has been working to help those devastated by Katrina and to get the Gulf Coast back on its feet. This is an unprecedented natural disaster, and Congress has responded in kind — but full recovery does take time. |
| Cases of human rights violations are squarely being handled by an independent commission with which the national government has been working closely in the investigation of specific cases, as well as in the proper education of the uniformed services. |
| Federal funds are granted to the state level and are then contracted to the local sites and health departments. Our part in this as a health center is to send out our environmental specialists to perform site inspections on proper food handling and safety. |
