Former FEMA chief Michael Brown gives us our whackadoo quote of the day: "Hurricane Katrina showed how bad disasters can be, and there's an incredible need for individuals and businesses to understand how important preparedness is." And for FEMA, and the President of the United States, and Governors, and Mayors of towns sitting on the edge of complete and utter destruction. They, too, have an incredible need to understand how important preparedness is.
