One sixth* of the 1.4 million did NOT own a car. That means 230,000 needed "public transportation".

And since the state called for an evacuation why was their own plan emergency evac plan (I am sure they had one, every state plans for what they foresee could be their own possible major disasters) not put into place????

Their plan had to account for all of the people that could not evac themselves by car or plane especially in a poor city like NO. This is a huge disaster for the democrats in that state when people start looking at this.

Here is a LINK to the City of New Orleans Emergency Preparedness page titled "General Evacuation Guidelines". Check it out. It says "If you need a ride, try to go with a neighbor, friend, or relative." (scroll down to i..)
