Disaster Exhaustion

I guess the link says it all on a somewhat small scale. Reporters and aid from Canada got to New Orleans residents faster than FEMA and the US Military. ABC News also reported that the local New Orleans city government and I believe FEMA practiced a mock disaster evacuation of the city based on an imaginary Category 5 hurricane wrecking the city and the levees breaking. In their plan several hundred school buses were planned to be used to evacuate those people without transportation or unable to get out. Then they showed an image of those very same school buses in the disater plan sitting in a huge parking lot with water up to their roof level. None were even moved.... I'm starting to get disaster weiriness like most everyone. I just wish we could back time up and change everything and save all those lives..
