ABOARD AIR FORCE ONE, Sept. 3 (UPI) -- Relief workers are providing protection and sustenance in areas affected by Hurricane Gustav along the U.S. Gulf Coast, a federal official said Wednesday.
"So now we're in the life protection and life-sustaining mode, making sure we have the tarps down there for the homes, we have water, food, cots, blankets, all those types of things we're going to need," David Paulison, Federal Emergency Management Agency administrator, said in a briefing with White House press secretary Dana Perino aboard Air Force One.
