Which of the Following Best Describes Why the Federal Emergency

Which of the following best describes why the Federal Emergency Management Agency failed during Hurricane Katrina?

A) The agency was headed by a political contributor of George Bush, not an emergency relief specialist, so the leader was unprepared.
B) The agency had been merged into the Department of Homeland Security in 2003, so it was unclear who was in charge.
C) The agency surprised everyone by its poor response, since it had successfully handled previous disasters in California and Florida.
D) The head of the agency had been appointed by Bill Clinton because he was one of Clinton's supporters, and he had no experience with disaster relief.
E) The agency had been merged into the Commerce Department, and its funds had been depleted by that department, leaving it without resources.
