A complete mandatory evacuation would have accomplished two tasks:

1) no looters; and

2) people not feeling the need to stay in their homes to protect against looters.

Martial law was not declared until after the storm went thru. That prevents "A complete mandatory evacuation".

there will always be looters. short of biochips and a police state, how can you MAKE every human leave? house to house searches?
