The sad part of that Mike is they wanted to blame everyone but themselves.
1. The federal government cannot step in and force an evacuation or attempt a rescue unless the president declares marshal law or the governor of the state request help from the federal government. The only officials who can respond prior to a call for help are people within the state to include the National Guard.
2. Once the state failed to evac the city and Katrina was htting at full force it's almost impossible to do anything. First order of business for setting up a rescue operation is housing, feeding and caring for the rescuers. Kinda hard to pitch a tent city in a hurricane.
So the governor of LA failed to ask for help before it became a major problem. When they did call for help about all the federal government could do was move stuff a close as possible so they could set up to go in when the storm broke. Most of the errors there were at the city and state level.
Yea the storm in the Philippians was bad. And you get into a lot of 3rd world countries the infrastructure isn't great. That really complicates rescue and recovery.
