Emergency response plans restore local authority -- Newsday.com: "WASHINGTON - In the first overhaul of emergency response planning since the botched response to Hurricane Katrina in 2005, Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff unveiled a blueprint yesterday that restores authority to state and local officials, emphasizes preparedness and strengthens the Federal Emergency Management Agency.
He described the new plan as 'a simple, straightforward guide' to respond to crises of all sorts, whether a hurricane in Long Island, a wildfire in California or a terror attack on New York City."
