FEMA director Michael Brown has been replaced by a USCG vice admiral as the guy in charge of on-site Katrina relief and has been sent back to DC. It doesn't appear that he's actually been fired (yet), just sent home.

Also, apparently his resume has some substantial inaccuracies. According to Time:
Before joining FEMA, his only previous stint in emergency management, according to his bio posted on FEMA's website, was "serving as an assistant city manager with emergency services oversight." The White House press release from 2001 stated that Brown worked for the city of Edmond, Okla., from 1975 to 1978 "overseeing the emergency services division." In fact, according to Claudia Deakins, head of public relations for the city of Edmond, Brown was an "assistant to the city manager" from 1977 to 1980, not a manager himself, and had no authority over other employees. "The assistant is more like an intern," she told TIME.
