WASHINGTON Oct. 24, 2007 (AP) - The Bush administration's disaster assistance chief promised no repeat of the Hurricane Katrina experience Wednesday, as Washington weighed options to help California wildfire victims.
"We're going to make sure this operation runs as smoothly as possible given the size of this disaster," David Paulison, head of the Federal Emergency Management Agency, said when asked if people who lost homes can expect a more aggressive response than when Hurricane Katrina struck the Gulf Coast in late summer 2005.
