5W Public Relations is pitching Michael "Brownie"
Brown, former Federal Emergency Management Agency director,
as an expert on disaster and recovery efforts.

Post-FEMA, Brown serves as corporate strategy director for
Cotton Cos., a disaster recovery outfit that saw duty in the
aftermath of Hurricane Katrina.
Brown, who was told by President Bush that he was doing a
"heck of a job" after Katrina hit, was active during
the height of the California wildfire story.
He singled out "environmentalists" for the firestorms
during an interview with Fox News' Neil Cavuto. Brown believes
"greenies" thwarted the "controlled burns"
that are needed to thin the California hills.
Brown credited California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger
for "doing an incredibly good job" in responding
to the flames.
5W,
which does PR work for Cotton and is headed by Ronn Torossian,
notes that California authorities evacuated many people to
San Diego's Qualcomm Stadium, a move it feels is similar to
the housing of Katrina-impacted people in New Orleans' Super
Dome.
