What role did FEMA have in the evacuation? This evacuation was called for by the governors of the affected states (at the urging of FEMA, just as in Katrina), but were responded to. In fact, OVER-responded to. This evacuation involved something like four or five states, not a single city. Perhaps you don't remember Jesse Jackson getting on TV telling us about how the "misery index" remained sky-high a month or two after the storm. How quickly we forget: jimbovard.com FEMA did learn from this evacuation, however -- and I believe Floyd was the driving force behind the "contra-flow" lane arrangement after the over-evacuation for Floyd. Again, local authorities are responsible for the evacuation. Trying to blame Bush or FEMA for it is just politics.
