Part of the problem was that people seemed to think FEMA was supposed to be activated before the local response. They weren't. They are activated once local government has tried and discovered that their resources are insufficient to the task. THEN FEMA gets called in.
Strange how Florida regularly gets pounded by Hurricanes but doesn't suffer the same consequences. Perhaps the real culprit should be examined: Louisiana's state government is among the most corrupt of all states. Florida's state government isn't.
Example: funds for maintaining the flood defenses in Louisiana were already available, that is, until the local government spent that money on other projects.
Hmmmmm....
