“Brownie” Available to Speak About Wildfire Response
I just can’t make shit like this up. Former FEMA director Michael Brown, who completely mismanaged the Bush administration’s response to Hurricane Katrina, has released a press release yesterday stating he is "available for interviews" on the wildfires and the government’s response. And heck, he can even draw parallels with Katrina and the Super Dome.
Mr. Brown can speak to the turmoil being caused by the California wildfires as well as to some of the new processes in disaster relief efforts that will help to restore California communities. He can offer advice to residents and businesses on proper relief and recovery efforts and provide suggestions for future disaster preparedness.

Currently, the brush fires are affecting hundreds of local businesses and have forced more than 500,000 people out of their homes. Of these 500,000 people, an estimated 10,000 of them have taken shelter at the local NFL stadium, Qualcomm, vaguely reminiscent of circumstances of Hurricane Katrina evacuees two years ago.
It is just amazing this guy is the director of corporate strategy for a disaster recovery firm. I mean what does the guy do? Is he presented with a plan and asked for his thoughts, then does the firm just say "Thanks Brownie" and does the exact opposite of what he suggested.
