[QUOTE="susiedriver, post: 47957"] Gov Blanco of LA declared a State Of Emergency on Friday, Aug 26: [URL='https://web.archive.org/web/20051004065124/http://gov.louisiana.gov/2005%20%20proclamations/48pro2005-Emergency-HurricaneKatrina.pdf']https://web.archive.org/web/20051004065124/http://gov.louisiana.gov/2005 proclamations/48pro2005-Emergency-HurricaneKatrina.pdf[/URL] The WaPo was intentionally misled by a 'senior Bush official'. This has been well reported. She (Blanco) is by no means blameless in the ensuing fiasco, however the bulk of the blame lies squarely on DHS and FEMA. DHS has a very comprehensive plan for dealing with natural disasters, that they chose to ignore for a few days. [url]https://web.archive.org/web/20050117195416/http://www.dhs.gov/interweb/assetlibrary/NRP_FullText.pdf[/url] They also had conducted a disaster drill in NOLA in 2004, 'Hurricane Pam', that predicted exactly what has happened. LSU also has a very extensive library of studies available dealing with this very scenario. [/QUOTE]
