He keeps blaming FEMA, but his people have been very bad. They sent people to the Convention Center for a shelter then didn't tell FEMA. Superdome ran out of food, and waited till after it was gone to ask for more food. A city surrounded by water had no supplies to stop levee breaks. Army Corp had to go searching for sandbags and things to block the breaches.

The scale of the disaster is staggering, of course, but the ineptitude of the Mayor and Governor is also staggering. The idea that they weren't fully prepared to handle even ONE main shelter (Superdome) is just pitiful.... I can understand that no city can prepare for every possible eventuality, but they KNEW they were putting tens of thousands of people into the dome, and they certainly should have prepared the resources to handle basic needs at the Superdome (and the Convention Center). Better yet, they should have had a transportation plan to get 100K poor people out of NOLA to shelters in more secure areas.... bunch of BOZOs!

That needs to be said over and over and over. Naglin has mismanaged every single aspect of this disaster.
