Feds don't want another Katrina

At a bird flu summit in Richmond, Va., the Health and Human Services Secretary had a warning for local officials.

Secretary Mike Leavitt said the federal government can not be relied upon to protect states from a potential flu pandemic.

Leavitt said communities that assume the federal government will come to the rescue will be wrong.

The secretary made his remarks at a summit with local governments, schools, and health and emergency services officials.
