Two federal agencies seemed to burn brightest in their roles dealing with Hurricane Katrina: the Coast Guard and the National Weather Service. The two agencies share traits that help explain their success. Both have clear missions that inspire workers to do their best. Both do their best within budget constraints to give employees the best tools available for their jobs, whether it be information technology, facilities or, in the case of the Coast Guard, ships and aircraft.
