Full Name: The Hurricane Katrina Commission Report, August 30, 2005 4:00 a.m. E.S.T. The Katrina Report is the published findings of the Katrina Commission which convened within less than 24 hours after Hurricane Katrina made landfall. The exact hour the Commission first met was August 30, 2005 at 4:00 a.m. E.S.T.. After the quick release of the report, White House correspondent Jeff Gannon asked at a briefing, "Isn't the fabulously, I mean... remarkably quick release of the Report just another example that shows this Administration has been on top of the situation from the start?"
