  As far as the mayor, why didn't he make the evacuation mandatory?
Why didn't he fill warehouses full of food and water?  Why didn't he
tell FEMA that he was using their convention center to house refugees so
they could bring in supplies?  Oh, yeah.  They claim that it wouldn't
matter because they were black and no one would listen!




Why didn't the mayor save the school busses by driving them a bit
up-river?  ...full of people, of course.

Another example of poor planning. The emergency was called so late that it would have been impossible to mobilize all those drivers who were probably very busy taking care of themselves and their families.

You see where one intelligent simulation expert, three months, and 10K$, would have contoured all these contingencies and more.
