Brown told the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee he had held a video conference call the afternoon of August 28, the day before the hurricane struck, which he specifically recalled Bush listened in on.
Brown said he warned top administration officials on the call that a disaster was looming and that the government should go on top alert and cut through red tape in its response.
Some 1,200 souls were lost and hundreds of thousands were made homeless in the storm extracting a heavy toll on an area widely suffering from poverty, government neglect, and other ills.
