If I remember the history of what happened last time that fault had a major shift, it dramatically changed the course of the Mississippi river and devastated hundreds of thousands of square miles. What does FEMA think they can do?
Spend lots of taxpayer dollars, of course!
That is what N.O. and Katrina were about, a trial run. When the Mississippi changes course that will solve the N.O. problem. It is all in the grand plan. The government has it covered. Nothing to worry about. Move along.
I assume the sarcasm tag is not needed.
"What does FEMA think they can do?"
Can't stop a disaster, but even a small amount of planning for this and other disasters help to reduce the loss of life. Over the years, property damage has gone up from hurricanes and earthquakes, but the loss of life went down in the US.
....What does FEMA think they can do?....
They can train earth quake responders. I took the FEMA training and presumedly will be close but far away. Memphis is in danger and trainded people are avaiable in east Tennessee.
Newspaper reports ofthetime say thay the Mississippi reversed course..flowed backwards upstream for some time..
"What does FEMA think they can do?"
Whatever it takes for them and their sponsers to maintain power.Thats really all its about.
Totally agree. There's nothing FEMA can do and even if they did, they and the evil Bush administration will still get blamed for it.
