I would have though Jeb Bush far more responsible for managing the both the evacuation and aftermath of the Florida hurricanes than FEMA, although I'm sure they pitched in with the requisite financial help. To a large extent, Katrina was many orders of magnitude more devestating than anything that happened in Florida and so exact comarisons are difficult.
I'm off to the State Library shortly to immerse myself in CFR TITLE 44 VOL 1 CHAP 1 PARTS 0-399...right after I walk the dogs, of course ;-)
"I would have though Jeb Bush far more responsible for managing the both the evacuation and aftermath of the Florida hurricanes than FEMA, although I'm sure they pitched in with the requisite financial help."
You're right. That's because that's the role of the Governor in such a disaster, not the role of FEMA. Brown successfully managed FEMA in it performing it's role in aiding the state and localgovernments.
"To a large extent, Katrina was many orders of magnitude more devestating than anything that happened in Florida and so exact comarisons are difficult."
Katrina may very well be the worst disaster that anyone living has seen our country face. We don't have anything to compaer it with, and no one has experience dealing with a disaster of that scale in our country.
