Brown’s e-mails reveal FEMA reaction to Katrina

Daniel Lathrop and John Perry of The Center for Public Integrity used FOIA to obtain e-mail records of former FEMA head Michael Brown, showing that “while many residents were awaiting rescue from rooftops or wading through toxic floodwaters, it was business as usual in the world of money, power and government inside the Washington beltway.” The Center posted a PDF containing more than 900 pages of Brown’s e-mails.
