Is the Government 'Hurricane Ready'?

The director of the Federal Emergency Management Agency said today that the agency is "better prepared" for hurricane season, but he also acknowledged that its hiring needs have still not been met since Hurricane Katrina.

One of the most significant issues facing the agency is its inability to fill all its authorized 2,400 staff positions, said FEMA Director David Paulison. Currently, FEMA has filled 2,000 of 2,400 positions. That's 83 percent of capacity.
