Critics state that there wasn 't enough done to prepare for the disaster, as well as not enough done after the disaster. Again, Blanco, like Nagin, attempted to place blame onto FEMA, thinking that by submitting a request for aid to President Bush would be enough, and that her job was done. Blanco appears to be looking out for her own self interest, rather than the interests of the people she governed. Michael D. Brown, the director of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), during Hurricane Katrina, was wholly unprepared for the disaster. After being appointed by President Bush, Brown had numerous failures during and after Hurricane Katrina. Brown had no background in emergency response, and FEMA had been merged into the newly created Department of Homeland Security, and had it 's funding cut in the merge. At the time of Hurricane Katrina, FEMA wasn 't properly equipped to deal with a national disaster, despite proving it 's worth during the 1989 San Francisco
