 NEW ORLEANS (AP) - Building higher levees isn't the sole solution to protecting this city and the rest of low-lying south Louisiana from killer hurricanes, President Bush's adviser on Gulf Coast recovery said Thursday.
Other keys, Donald Powell said, are restoring wetlands, upgrading pumping capacities and strengthening existing flood defenses.
Powell made his comments at a summit about levees and their importance in rebuilding this hurricane-battered region. The summit was hosted by two regional business groups.
