How could the devastation of Hurricane Katrina have been prevented?


On the next Your Call, we'll have a conversation with Harry Shearer, humorist, actor, radio host, and creator of the new documentary, <em>The Big Uneasy</em>. Shearer interviews New Orleans residents, investigators of Hurricane Katrina--concluding that much of the storm's death and destruction was preventable. What do you want to know that the mainstream media wasn't reporting? Join us live at 10 or send us an email at feedback@yourcallradio.org. How could new information keep other cities safe from the same fate? On the next Your Call, with Rose Aguilar and you.
