BILOXI, Miss. (AP) — The interim president of the American Red Cross says a lack of communication and available warehouse space during Hurricane Katrina were among the lessons learned from the storm, but the agency is better prepared this storm season.

In April, the Red Cross announced that it would invest $80 million in disaster recovery services and preparedness by tripling its warehouse space and improving communications."
