I sure don't know the mayor from Adam. But I will give him the benefit of the doubt. It may be that the guy was simply exhausted. To prepare for a disaster of Katrina's scale is not a 8 hour a day task. You can bet he was working with other agencies both within and outside of the city to plan and coordinate responses around the clock.
Emergency management can only go so far. In the end people still have to take action to save themselves, their family and their homes. The city can not do it for them. All the city can do is issue evacuation orders, provide shelters, help special needs citizens and launch search and rescue in the aftermath.

Sorry, but they saw this one coming.
It took President Bush forcing the issue to order to evacuate
not the governor of Louisiana
or the Mayor of New Orleans
Bush had to order the evacuation while the local government fretted
Heads will roll

Thank you for excusing his incompetence. And what do you have to say for the fine governor? Where are the elected leaders?

Exactly, no where to be found. What if Rudy had dealt with 9/11 with the same liberal response? What an embarrassment
