A House committee released a report blasting the government for failing to adequately respond to a major disaster which further caused the misery of hundreds. The republican led committee also blasted the White House's role in the disaster saying that the president should have acted more quickly. The report also stated that there was not a unified command at the state and local levels which contributed to the confusion.
The Senate Government Reform Committee had DHS Secretary Michael Chertoff about the departments role in Katrina with respect to FEMA. Senators criticised Chertoff for not taking control of the situation and providing adequate resources to state and local governments.
