Is there a timeline anywhere that compares the response to Hurricane Andrew with the response to Katrina?

Is Andrew the best comparison? From what I've read on several threads, FL gov Chiles deliberately delayed seeking Federal help to make Bush 41 look bad.

just hours after Andrew hit, Dade county officials were on CNN asking for everything under the sun. that was their disaster relief plan - call CNN and complain the feds are doing nothing in the first few hours.
