Focus Earth sits down with Bill Clinton and George Bush, Sr. this week to talk about their new fundraising initiative that unites people together across party lines to help Americans in need. Get the facts on what this dynamic duo is doing for the many Gulf Coast residents struggling to rebuild in the aftermath of Hurricanes Ike and Gustav.

Focus Earth has brought you the storm news throughout the 2008 Hurricane season, from NASA satellite images to the cutting edge of storm track technology to real life stories of the evacuees touched by the devastation. Now, reporter Charlie Gibson has the facts on how the Gulf Coast area is reaching towards recovery, with the help of some powerful friends.

This week, Gibson sits down with the team of former presidents to get all the latest facts about the Bush-Clinton Coastal Recovery Fund, from who it's helping to why and how. Bush and Clinton joined forces to raise money in the aftermath of the 2004 South Asia Tsunami, and then again in the wake of Hurricane Katrina. They'll talk about the challenges and opportunities of their new venture to help rebuild the Gulf Coast after this year's brutal storm season, and about how viewers can get involved with the fund.
