We tried it as an innovative way to get aid to evacuee populations in Texas. We decided it would be more expeditious with direct deposits.

obviously we're not going to need that much capacity.

It is not as simple as driving right up into the city of New Orleans and starting a rescue as we might be able to do in other disasters, such as an earthquake.

We need a national network of case management to help families in their search for work or to help them move from one place to another.

We have no tolerance for fraud - not against FEMA, not against the American taxpayer, our partners and certainly not against the victims of these hurricanes. We are looking into this matter specifically and are supporting the Department of Justice in every way possible.

Unfortunately, the congressman does not understand the rule-making process. There is only the best of intentions here and a good faith effort. We encourage people to talk to us.

We're essentially relocating most of the city of New Orleans,

We were very well-prepared, but it's not going to be a breeze. This is a very large, large disaster, and it's going to require a lot of teamwork and patience.

There has been that common thought that because (offers of aid) are not tapped immediately, they're not prudently used.

We already had all of our first-responder teams pre-deployed -- 32 teams in all -- who went in and staged in and around the hurricane zone and were ready to go by Sunday. This is deployment that requires that the governor make a request to the federal government.

We've got a huge population of people that have been evacuated with very little by way of possessions and we have to have a way to make sure these people can function. If there are those who are out there to cheat the system, that is going to be very disappointing. But the main goal is to get the aid out.

Every disaster is different. The 2004 hurricane season was extremely helpful in homing in on where we could tighten things up.

No single e-mail is going to give a clear or accurate picture of the largest federal response mobilization in history.

There wasn't a high level of registrations coming in at this point. Now that the immediate needs has been met, we have seamlessly moved to our transitional housing assistance program.

It serves quite a big need to put people in the right location, people needed to rebuild.

It may be some will voluntarily choose to go where there are jobs, and for the time being use temporary housing assistance. Maybe they'll want to rebuild on their lots, and they'll want to put a trailer there. We're not going to make them do it, but we're going to enable them to do it.

It should instill confidence that we are able to respond to something this catastrophic involving this many million people. This is a huge disaster and we have been able to get in there and we're getting people into safer areas. It's not easy and it won't be easy.
