- monocasa 3y agoPresident Bush declared Katrina to be a national emergency on August 27, 2005. http://web.mit.edu/12.000/www/m2010/finalwebsite/katrina/government/government-response.html http://web.mit.edu/12.000/www/m2010/finalwebsite/katrina/gov... > Before Hurricane Katrina made landfall, Governor Katherine Babineaux Blanco declared a state of emergency in Louisiana on August 26, 2005, and asked President Bush to do the same at the federal level the next day, a request with which he complied. This authorized FEMA to organize and mobilize resources as it saw fit to help the residents of New Orleans (Office of the Press Secretary 2005).
