President Bush has authorized emergency assistance for states of Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama opening up FEMA’s ability to move into the state with federal resources to assist the state and local governments with mobilizing resources and preparations to save lives and property from the impact of Hurricane Katrina. The President has also authorized a declaration for public assistance for the southern tip of Florida in response to Hurricane Katrina's first landfall on Friday. FEMA is moving federal response teams as well as supplies of generators, water, ice and food and other emergency commodities into the region for immediate deployment once the storm passes to any of the Gulf Coast states impacted and in need.
