JACKSON, Miss. (AP) - Management oversight of the Mississippi
long-term recovery office set up after Hurricane Katrina will
transfer from Biloxi to the Federal Emergency Management Agency's
regional office in Atlanta.
U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano says the move
signals the state's progress.
The decision comes after Napolitano visited the Gulf Coast
earlier this month to tour areas devastated by Katrina.
Disaster management is usually handled out of a regional office,
but after Katrina, recovery offices were set up in Mississippi,
Louisiana, Texas and Alabama. Only Louisiana's office remains.
