3 days worth of food and water was provided at the SuperDome. However, more people kept showing up after Katrina hit. The Convention Center was overflow for the Superdome. For example, people evacuated from hotels were sent to the Convention Center - which is why there wasn't food and water - they were supposed to shelter in the hotels.

The problem isn't that they didn't have 3 days provision - it's that the response was so LONG that all provisions ran out, and they didn't have any extras for all the additional people who showed up after Katrina hit.

Also, the National Guard was part of the evacuation plan and was SUPPOSED to help with evacuation - but we all know where they and THEIR EQUIPMENT are!
