Those were our innocent 50's days and we should be much more
prepared then that Officer Bohne. With the entire world now sending
emergency life saving team help and financial aid we need to do more
then just duck and cover. I can't imagine if New York, Chicago, or Los
Angeles for instance got catastrophic hit with no mass evacuation
plans
in place. The bulk of the money always seems to get politically
funneled
into pork barrel projects instead of the public health and safety. The
news being now reported is the various branches of military wants to
take over the emergency rescue and rebuilding of Gulf Coast area with
many questions being raised by local and State Officials. With the
whole
Gulf Coast now practically under water and dams potentially breaking
civil authorities and military are arguing who has authority over
complete disaster areas?

carry on,

This very likely applies to almost everywhere, had Rita or Katrina
happened here say along the south coast I have every confidence that
nothing would be in place and ready to enact. The same for any major
disaster be it natural or man made. Personally I would rather have the
military in control of it, politicians are mostly only concerned with
votes and popularity and corruption.

Nonsense. The Florida keys evacuated along a single road without
incident.
