End report slams 'passivity' over Katrina
(AP)
Updated: 2006-02-15 09:39

Government at all levels took only an indifferent stance toward disaster preparations after the 2001 terror attacks, leaving the Gulf Coast unnecessarily vulnerable to Hurricane Katrina, a House inquiry concludes.

Finding fault with the White House down to local officials, the House investigation determined that authorities failed to move quickly to protect people — even when faced with warnings days ahead of the storm last Aug 29.

The final report, written by a Republican-dominated special House committee, was obtained The Associated Press on Tuesday night ahead of its scheduled release Wednesday. Parts of the report were released Sunday.

The hospital, which sustained more than $90 million in damage from Hurricane Katrina, reopened its emergency room, several operating rooms and some beds Tuesday at an exuberant, pep rally-style ceremony.

"Passivity did the most damage," concluded the 520-page report by the committee, chaired by Rep. Tom Davis, R-Va., charged with investigating the sluggish response to Katrina. "The failure of initiative cost lives, prolonged suffering, and left all Americans justifiably concerned our government is no better prepared to protect its people than it was before 9/11, even if we are."

"The preparation for and response to Hurricane Katrina should disturb all Americans," the report said.

The House report is the first to be completed in a series of inquiries by Congress and the Bush administration about the massive failures exposed by Katrina, which left more than 1,300 people in Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama dead, tens of thousands homeless and billions of dollars worth of damage in her wake. Despite President Bush's accepting full responsibility for the federal government's shortfalls, the storm response continues to generate finger-pointing.
