You took my comment, about an EARTHQUAKE, and twisted it to pertain to a hurricane. Because your attitude isn't specific to any one kind of natural disaster. The attitude of "what is the Fed going to do to save me?" You live in a known earthquake zone. Do you have any kind of personal disaster plan in place or are you totally reliant on FEMA assistance for your survival? There is no excuse, NONE, for not having the facility to provide food and water to stationary victims in either tragedy. Your point about more people should have evacuated is also a point well taken. But remember, if LA opens the superdome- they should have been better prepared. The Superdome wasn't "planned" to shelter people from the storm. It became a contingency plan for the thousands that failed to evacuate. It was a shelter of last resort for many people that put themselves in harms way. As I mentioned before, I mourn for the people that have been affected by Katrina's wake. The sad fact is that their numbers were increased by a percentage of the population that didn't do much to save themselves. These particular "victims" contributed to the overwhelming of an already tenuous emergency response capability.
