City Charter of New Orleans http://www.google.com/search?hs=zDj&hl=en&lr=&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla%3Aen-US%3Aofficial&q=%22new+orleans%22%22city+charter%22&btnG=Search

According to their Emergency Preparedness plan, The City of New Orleans did what he was supposed to do.

During the Recommended Phase of Evacuation:
1. The City of New Orleans Emergency Operating Center (EOC) is staffed for 24-hour operation.
2. Local transportation will be mobilized to assist persons who lack transportation.
3. Bus routes and locations of staging areas for those needing transportation to shelters in or out of the Parish, will be announced via radio and television.
4. Relatives and neighbors should help family and friends who need transportation and other assistance.

From everything I can see, local and state government did their part according to the local and state plans.
If I am NOT mistaken...FEMA has to APPROVE all state and local disaster plans.
Isn't that correct?

1. If you are not mistaken both FEMA _and_ DHS are culpable

It's all about the levees.

You see how could a terrorist attack on levees be UNFORSEEABLE?

The economic and strategic value as a target for a simple flooding of New Orleans with a levee bombing is obvious to anyone and so the lack of a plan to deal with this emergency is evidence of no plan to deal with terrorist threats either.

That bodes poorly for a war president.
