Former FEMA Director Michael Brown says he fell short in conveying the magnitude of the disaster. “I should have asked for the military sooner,” he said.

After his mismanagement of hurricane relief, he was replaced as FEMA director. He said he should have demanded the military’s help sooner than he did in September.”]
