last time I looked, people exiting the Super Bowl didn't do it through flood waters with snipers taking shots at them.
if a particular city is inclined to go into "insurgency mode" after a catastrophe, if the local government structure that is supposed to provide civil order walks away from the assignment, then yes - it could happen anywhere. it didn't happen in NYC on 9-11, many west coast people believe it would happen in Los Angeles for example if some calamity happened there. FEMA has nothing to do with whether that occurs or not, in either place.
the idea that FEMA can be structured to instantly take anarchy at every level, and restore normal life within 4 days, is crazy. that's not to say they aren't mistakes they are making. but as a mission assignment, you are asking the impossible.
Exactly.
I am just getting back online after being away all week.
How many NO police officers walked away? Is that information available? Thanks.
