If there plans and personnel were evaluated before hand, my guess is that they would have fallen within the middle ranges of the bell curve. Probably. So what? Do you think that the feds would have done a better job of planning? If so, why? In theory, the locals know their scenario best, are the ones with a life-or-death stake in the outcome, and have control over local planning resources. In theory, the feds have more general experience. Making the locals primary seems obvious to me. At least I'd take my chances with the locals, as a general rule (unless I knew them to be singularly incompetent or corrupt, as perhaps was the case in NO).
