from my direct involvement in The Cuban Missile Crisis and JFK's refusal to preempt the missiles going into Cuba, has convinced me that GWB did the right thing, he and the Republicans, then and now, have always put our national security and their oath of office as 1ST priority...rto

The "Hurricane Pam" scenario run by FEMA in 2004 predicted wide-spread civil unrest, looting, and violence. Not in this summary.
Do you have a link to where the scenario involved wide-spread civil unrest, and how the response plan was adapted to deal with that expected facet of the disaster?

The "Hurricane Pam" scenario run by FEMA in 2004 predicted wide-spread civil unrest, looting, and violence.
The 2004 report was designed to be the first step toward producing a comprehensive hurricane response plan, jointly approved and implemented by federal, state and city officials. But a lack of funding prohibited planners from quickly following up on the 2004 simulation. "Money was not available to do the follow-up," Brown said.
The report did not mention looting and lawlessness, which was rampant in the immediate aftermath of Katrina. It did call for at least one security guard at each shelter.
In another burst of foresight, the planners sought creative ways to house evacuees. Among other ideas, they instructed Louisiana parishes to find large vacant lots that could house makeshift trailer parks at a moment's notice.
