CRAWFORD, Texas (AP) - President Bush, who was criticized for a slow federal response to Hurricane Katrina, took a pre-emptive strike Saturday against Hurricane Dean blowing through the Caribbean and threatening the Texas coast.

Bush, who received two hurricane briefings at his ranch, signed a pre-landfall disaster declaration, allowing the federal government to move in people, equipment and supplies immediately in case Hurricane Dean hits the state

Kentucky sending guard members to Texas in case hurricane hits

LOUISVILLE, Ky. --
Kentucky will dispatch two National Guard helicopters along with 18 guard members to Texas, which is bracing for a major hurricane.

Maj. Gen. Donald C. Storm, Kentucky's adjutant general, said Saturday that the two UH-60 Blackhawk helicopters will leave early Monday for Austin. The aircraft plus the 18 soldiers - 12 aircrew and six support personnel - will leave from the Boone National Guard Center in Frankfort.

The helicopters can assist by providing air ambulance and rescue operations if Hurricane Dean slams into Texas, said Col. Phil Miller, a Kentucky guard spokesman.

The assistance was requested by Texas Gov. Rick Perry and Texas' adjutant general as part of an emergency mutual assistance compact among states.
