ANDERSON COOPER 360 DEGREES
Louisiana Sheriff Accuses City Official of Racism
Aired September 16, 2005 - 19:00 ET
LEO BOSNER, FEMA UNION OFFICIAL:
In my view, and I'm speaking personally, by the way, I'm not representing FEMA. I'm a long-time employee there and the union president. We had expected that there would be some major, major preparations being done, buses to move the evacuees out, National Guards from around the surrounding states maybe, something like that. And instead the level of preparedness we saw was about the same as what you're seeing right now in the past few days I think for Tropical Storm Ophelia which as you know just hit the Carolinas. And of course Tropical Storm Ophelia ...
COOPER: But was it just a question, then, of Mike Brown or was it the upper management? In your opinion who is at fault? Does it just reside with one person?
BOSNER: No. In my opinion under the current -- unfortunately, under the current administration the whole top layer of FEMA, and I don't know, as far as I can tell the top layers of Homeland Security really don't have any emergency management experience.
...But what's actually happened is since the year 2000 and even since 9/11 of 2001 we have actually at FEMA in my view, personal view, we have actually slid backwards, we've given up and lost a lot of that staff training and expertise we developed in the '90s, and we have actually slid backward to the 1980s again
