James Lee Witt Associates, the public safety and crisis management firm founded by the former Clinton FEMA director and of which General Clark is Vice Chairman, was recognized by the American Society of Landscape Architects for its disaster recovery efforts in Louisiana. The award specifically applauds the firm's development of an online planning program for community recovery following natural disasters, to assist FEMA and the State of Louisiana's Recovery Authority Partnership.

"With the assistance of James Lee Witt Associates, Louisiana and the entire Gulf Coast are better equipped to meet the challenges of rebuilding after the devastation of hurricanes Katrina and Rita," said Patrick Moore, Managing Principal, Moore Planning Group and Fellow of the American Society of Landscape Architect.
