When we have a hurricane on the horizon all 67 counties declare an emergency BEFORE the storm. This allows the governor the ability to ask for federal assistance without having to wait.
Nagan should have requested help from Blanco before the storm.
Blanco could have then requested federal help before the storm even made landfall. They all blamed Bush for the delay even though he could not dispatch federal troops without their permission. Even when Bush flew into NO they still waited 24 hours to ask for help.
This delay was created Nagan/Blanco not Bush.
Those school buses just sitting parked was a disgrace. They should have been pressed into service to get the sick and old out of dodge and to a safer location.
Hey, you get the representation that you vote for!
