With a disaster of the magnitude of this hurricane you deploy the transportation, period! It is a basic NO BRAINER. With no source of communication how in hell is one going to determine whether or not an individual or individuals have their own transportation. Oh, I know how, they will all meet at the levee to board the buses! The statement below should have been reverted to sentence #2 in this instance.A rather simple thing to do if you read it but it appears the physical implementation phase by the mayor of NO was non-existent. He is no leader! (IMO). Louisiana disaster plan, pg 13, para 5 , dated 01/00 'The primary means of hurricane evacuation will be personal vehicles.

This plan cannot be repeated enough. People need to understand that what we are seeing came about because it was planned! The plan called for optional use of government-owned buses to evacuate the poor, and for whatever reason the mayor or governor opted not to activate that option. These people were left to weather the storm and it's aftermath by plan and choice of their local and state elected leaders.

I think they should ask their 'so attentive' Mayor and Governor.
