[0:00] It's not

[0:01] >> on World News Tonight. A million

[0:03] Americans looking for new homes in the

[0:06] aftermath of Katrina.

[0:08] >> It's as if my house is burned. I mean, I

[0:10] have to start over.

[0:11] >> It is a migration of mammoth proportion,

[0:14] and people don't know where they're

[0:15] being sent. The president and the

[0:18] Congress both vow to investigate the

[0:20] federal government's response to the

[0:22] disaster. Tonight, a closer look at who

[0:24] had the primary responsibility to save

[0:27] lives. And in New Orleans, the health

[0:30] concerns are growing, the fires are

[0:33] spreading, but the waters are receding.

[0:38] >> From ABC News, this is World News

[0:42] Tonight.

[0:44] Reporting from ABC News headquarters,

[0:46] Charles Gibson.

[0:48] >> Good evening. Tonight, we look at the

[0:52] Katrina. Both are and will be enormous.

[0:56] First, the money. President Bush said

[0:58] today he wants another $40 billion to

[1:01] cover the next phase of recovery. Some

[1:03] in Congress say it's going to cost $150

[1:06] billion before it's all over. And then

[1:09] there is the human cost. Those that have

[1:12] left New Orleans and other cities are

[1:14] being relocated. And with approximately

[1:16] a million evacuees, the logistical

[1:18] problems are overwhelming. States are

[1:21] stepping up. California, Colorado, for

[1:23] example, they've said they'll take a

[1:25] thousand evacuees each. Texas of course

[1:27] the most 230,000

[1:30] and then there is Arkansas with 60,000

[1:33] and Tennessee has stepped forward to say

[1:36] they will take 13,000. 30 states in all

[1:39] are accepting evacuees but many when

[1:42] they get on planes don't know where

[1:44] they're going. So AB
