Michael D. Brown said it was baloney for Department of Homeland Security officials to claim they did not know of the extent of the flooding until Tuesday, because he and other FEMA officials had notified them the day before. Mr. Brown said he told the White House aide that everything that they had planned about, worried about, that FEMA, frankly, had worried about for 10 years was coming true. Mr. Brown said that FEMA's role within the Homeland Security Department had been subordinated to fighting terror.
