WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The director of the U.S. Federal Emergency Management Agency Michael Brown resigned on Monday after being recalled to Washington amid criticism of the federal response to Hurricane Katrina.
In an apparent nod to demands that Brown be replaced by someone with experience in emergency response, President George W. Bush replaced Brown with David Paulison, a veteran firefighter who now runs FEMA's preparedness division.
Paulison was also the Homeland Security official who urged Americans to stock up on duct tape and plastic sheeting in 2003 to protect against a biological or chemical attack, a recommendation that was widely ridiculed in the media.
