At the Senate Homeland Security Committee hearing, Senator Frank Lautenberg (D-NJ) questions the chain of communication from members of the Federal Emergency Management Agency on the ground after Hurricane Katrina to the United States Department of Homeland Security.
Senator Lautenberg questions why an email sent out for general distribution at 9 A.M. on Monday, August 29th 2005, which described the severity of Hurricane Katrina, never reached Michael Chertoff, Secretary of Homeland Security. Senator Lautenberg calls it astonishing that even though then FEMA director Michael Brown was in direct communication with the White House, messages never reached the Department of Homeland Security.
