What other job could he do?

Brown's New Job: Readiness Consultant: "Former FEMA director Michael D. Brown, criticized over his agency's slow response to Hurricane Katrina, is starting a disaster-preparedness consulting firm to help clients avoid the sort of errors that cost him his job.

'If I can help people focus on preparedness, how to be better prepared in their homes and better prepared in their businesses -- because that goes straight to the bottom line -- then I hope I can help the country in some way,' Brown told the Rocky Mountain News."

This is rich. I bet he gets some government jobs.
