As I recall, supplies WERE pre-positioned before Katrina, but an incompetent mayor and an incompetent governor refused to cooperate and thus the problem. Still, the major problem with Katrina and with Sandy is that there are thousands upon thousands of people who have no idea how to take care of themselves - they've become completly dependent on the government.
And NYC has an incompetent mayor who is so far removed from reality that he only canceled the NYC Marathon when the outrage became so loud it finally penetrated his self-serving ignorance about how all those human assets and supplies (like WATER saved for the runners) would help the people he “serves.”
This is the same idiot who endorsed Obama the other day.
