The Katrina and Rita hurricane disasters have brought to US National attention the dangerous lacking preparation for mass evacuations in times of severe pending disasters. What played a great part in preventing great loss of life in Louisiana was pre warning and orderly evacuations of the bulk of residents before Rita hit land. With Louisiana now under water many folks which refused to go however may still be trapped with no means except boats to go check on them and help save them. When questioned most large city officials admitted they have no plans in place in case large scale mass evacuations are ever needed. Oh the humanity, natural disasters are foreseeable yet very little planning if any has gone into proper strategy to hopefully save folks once a catastrophe takes place. With our Earth Science Team Officers reporting looming potential trouble spots around the globe pertinent emergency Officials admittedly have little back up plans or reserve funds to properly address same. Saving human life is of the highest priority second to none. With rumbling volcanos and huge erupting fires out in the Northwest and tremors being recorded daily along the California San Andreas fault. See: http://search.netscape.com/ns/boomfr...n_andreas.html Also with additional hurricanes still due including midwest tornadoes, See: http://search.netscape.com/ns/boomfr...easeID%253D530 floods, possible coastal freak waves and tsunamis, not to mention present terrorist war threat, mass evacuation plans are a must to protect and prevent large loss of life. Profound Earth Science Team excellent event predictions are best if with science concerned warning the possible effected area has means for proper safe mass evacuation or adequate national disaster protection of its folks, property, and service infrastructure. We must always guard against loss of hope panic, nature events anticipated, and unplanned crisis event occurrence. Should one occur all emergency assistance personnel must be ready to take planned orderly action to hopefully prevent any or further loss of life. Now with our entire southern coast still threatened and many parts under water we can't afford anything less. ponder on, the nightbat |

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, the nightbat |

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. |

I'm afraid this sort of view is probably not rare, and very likely applies to general medical healthcare regarding the elderly and the very sick too. I don't think you really want politicians calling the shots when it comes to peoples lives. I can't put forward a solution I'm afraid, other than to keep politicians well away from this sort of thing and of course disaster management of any kind. |

I know that when my father died suddenly at 78, it seemed that there were no heroic attempts to revive him or rush him to the hospital or determine the actual cause of his death. He was merely pronounced dead and that was that. And he was a completely healthy man. I got the feeling that the attitude was that when you're over 70, that dying is what your supposed to do! If he had been some 20 year old, there would have been much more commotion about it, and probably coroners and police showing up to investigate. Once you get old, don't expect anyone to care.
