You see the problem was that the plan specifically says,"The Governor is granted the power to direct and compel the evacuation of all or part of the population from a stricken or threatened area within the State, if HE deems this action necessary for the preservation of life or other disaster mitigation, response or recovery." Since the governor is a she it isn't her responsibility.
I'm sorry. You didn't cite the new amended version:
"The Governor is granted the power to direct and compel the evacuation of all or part of the White House population from a threatened posture by the New Orleans mayor, if He [the mayor] deems this action necessary for the preservation of life or other disaster mitigation, response or recovery."
That's it in a nutshell. Disaster preparation is not food and water preparedness on a family by family or local basis. It's not self-preservation on a home by home or neighborhood basis. It's not city or even state preparedness. Disaster prep, as redefined by New Orleans, is simply, "Shame the White House" into attempting to be their god.
