If only President Bush had allowed Negin to use the school buses.

I think the explanation at the time was that the buses did not have toilets on them. So, once an hour they stop at a fast food restaurant or a truck stop and let people out who need to use a restroom. But that never occurred to the people in charge.

Other issues were having a detailed emergency-response plan with dedicated meet points, supply points, and coordination centers, and then FEMA showed up and there was no one there because NO ignored the plan and set up relief points on the fly; the governor not allowing any pre-staging, nor immediate help from neighboring federally-activated national guard units; and evacuating the bus-drivers.
