I blame FEMA because it’s their job…not anything else but to work with national emergencies…so it’s all well and fine to point out the local govt lost their top and didn’t do a good job, but to take 4 days for FEMA to organize a response is flat out unacceptable.
And whats this may or may not have had foreknowledge of the incident? You have a computer machine with that weather thingy right? I believe they might have a slightly more advanced version of that and could tell at least 48 hours before it hit land they might want to brace for the worst.
And the “they could have used all those school buses” remark is worthless - if the levee’s don’t break, New Orleans doesn’t flood like that and the people that “cowered” ( for real Jen, that was pretty cold and low, did you expect them to take up guns and fight the hurricane or something? ) but the levee’s did break and no one really thought they would. Granted they should have assumed they would and that fault is solely on the local govt.
But FEMA’s job is to respond and fix national disasters and they failed this time around, Michael Brown’s resignation I hope shows FEMA is taking that blame.
had to worry about no less then 50 times as much landmass
Were there cat. 4 hurricanes headed for the rest of the landmass where they had to divert all attention away from the Gulf Coast?
