EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson, who grew up in New Orleans, will play a big role in the suite of events marking the fifth anniversary of Hurricane Katrina.
A White House schedule released Wednesday shows Jackson will participate in seven events between Aug. 26 and Aug. 29.
They range from delivering the keynote address Thursday at the Tulane University conference called "Fighting for Survival: The Vulnerability of America’s Gulf Coast and the Caribbean Basin" to attending an interfaith service Sunday and candlelight vigil in New Orleans.
President Barack Obama will head Sunday to New Orleans to speak at Xavier University.
