Bush&#x2019;s response to Hurricane Katrina, which hit New Orleans in August 2005 and left more than 1,500 dead.</p><p>The mismanaged response of Bush&#x2019;s FEMA administrator, Michael Brown, to that hurricane, as well as Bush&#x2019;s praise of Brown for doing a &#x201C;heck of a job&#x201D; in the immediate days after, dogged Bush for the rest of his presidency.</p><p>On Sunday, Long said FEMA is now &#x201C;vastly different&#x201D; than in 2005 and that he has the power he needs to mobilise forces and co-ordinate staffing. He said the agency was already preparing to handle the aftermath in Texas for the next couple of years.</p><p>&#x201C;This disaster&#x2019;s going to be a landmark event,&#x201D; Long said.</p><p>&#x201C;While we&#x2019;re focused on the response right now and helping Texas respond, we&#x2019;re already pushing forward recovery housing teams, we&#x2019;re already pushing forward forces to be on the ground to implement national flood insurance program polices as well and doing the inspections that we need.&#x201D;</p><p>White House homeland security adviser Tom Bossert defended the early compliments between Trump and Abbott for the response to Harvey, citing the quick action to declare a disaster before landfall to get additional resources in place.</p><p>But Bossert acknowledged the worst was yet to come, estimating &#x201C;continued rain, upwards of 30 inches.&#x201D;</p><p>&#x201C;I&#x2019;ve been around dozens and dozens of major disasters and hurricanes, hundreds of disasters. I&#x2019;ve never seen 30 inches of rain,&#x201D; he said.</p><p>&#x201C;We&#x2019;re going to posture ourselves for the long-term care of the medical needy, of the elderly, of the weak and then we&#x2019;ll put ourselves in the position to provide the resources to rebuild and recover.&#x201D;</p></div>
