The government can't provide everything for everyone...thats part of the reason why some of us here on FR are conservative.
At any rate, when facing the possibility of on adverse event...like a hurricane...basic traits of human nature should take over (intelligence, responsibility, dilligence, common sense, etc. and appropriate actions are taken to preserve ones life) In other words...most grown-ups can handle it.
Even conservatives understand that there are legitimate functions for the State. Among these is providing for public safety.
Conservative does not equal "anarchist."

If a city invites thousands of people to tour and then has not plans for protecting them in an emergency, I find that to be poor planning. Yes, adults on their own home turf can be and should be responsible for themselves. But a tourist in a strange city with no means of transportation (and the normal means (rental cars, airplans, etc.) exhausted) is due some consideration from the city which invited him.
