Mike Brown
We were watching CNN last night showing replay of his testimony before Congress. He stated that he had overseen 150 Presidential disasters. Not much comes to mind in his one or two years as FEMA director.

2. doesn't take much to be a FEMA disaster -- link

Here's a link to FEMA's list of declared disasters for 2005. Its easy to see how they would be unprepared for something like Hurricane Katrina when they consider a snowstorm in Alaska to be a disaster.
