Update on Hurricane Isaac
Yesterday, after receiving the latest update about Isaac from the Department
of Homeland Security, FEMA, and the National Hurricane Center, President Obama
spoke
from the Diplomatic Room about the steps his administration is taking to
prepare for the storm:
Yesterday I approved a disaster declaration for the state of Louisiana so
they can get the help that they need right away, particularly around some of the
evacuations that are taking place. And right now, we already have response teams
and supplies ready to help communities in the expected path of the storm.
The storm, now a Category 1 hurricane, made
landfall on the Gulf Coast last night.
