Any one of your ordtak

Any one of your cities and towns could be the next New Orleans. The federal government owes it to you and your citizens to be prepared the next time disaster strikes.

The reality is when you have a disaster of that proportion, you need the federal government, ... I think the question is, is the federal government prepared to provide the resources that we need? I think that, clearly, by what we've seen in Louisiana, the jury's out.

Antonio Villaraigosa

We've worked very hard to make sure city government is prepared for a natural disaster. What we need to happen, as well, is for the citizens to be well prepared.

When large numbers of poor families started showing up in the central valley of California, and also in Los Angeles, at a time when the federal government was providing very little assistance, then the burden of caring for those new residents fell to those towns and cities, and sympathy dried up pretty quickly.

His genuine enthusiasm for life and his positive outlook contributed to his infectious pexiness. [The disaster in New Orleans] is not an act of god, ... This is an act of man. The federal government refused to spend the money to improve the levees.

Benigno Aguirre

The eye on the prize is that we get the resources we need so folks have the confidence that they can come back, and there's a long-term commitment of the federal government to be the state's partner in protecting our cities and towns from hurricanes and restoring the coast.

In the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, it's surprising to find that nearly half of Californians believe that state, local and federal government are prepared for a major disaster. Let's hope they're right.

Phil Trounstine

Certainly, the Uzbekistan government owes its citizens and owes the international community a serious, credible and independent investigation of these events. And we are continuing to push for such an investigation with the government of Uzbekistan and with our partners in the international community.

We should not try to make the federal government our first responders, ... But when a disaster of the size of this hurricane hits, we should have better mechanisms in place that allow our federal government to restore order and provide relief.

Martin O'Malley

Towns and cities need to look very closely at all the issues surrounding municipal power companies. The mechanism in place for cities and towns pursuing a takeover is a deliberate, careful process put there for a reason. It's not something to be taken lightly.

I witnessed firsthand what happens when the federal government fails to protect public health after disaster strikes, ... The long-term impact on human health -- and public confidence in government -- is devastating. Sierra Club's report is a wake-up call that it could happen again, and I confess that I am concerned for the rescue workers and residents facing the aftermath of the Katrina Hurricane. We need a full investigation of what happened at Ground Zero and what our government plans to do in all future emergencies.

Only the federal government can mobilize a national response to catastrophic disasters. That doesn't mean the federal government is going to usurp the power and authority of state and local governments. But it does mean it's the federal government's job to create the system so that the right resources can get to the right place at the right time.

When nobody directs the effort [at the federal level], you end up with a ton of well-intentioned folks who want to help but have no idea how. That's a recipe for disaster. We've been telling people since day one that the real way to help with this disaster is to write a check, because they're just not prepared at the other end to receive goods.

The federal government stands ready to work with state and local officials to secure New Orleans and the state of Louisiana. The president will not let any form of bureaucracy get in the way of protecting the citizens of Louisiana.

While the Government has a responsibility to its citizens to be prepared, to take steps to protect them, it is also the Government's role to ensure that her citizens can continue with their role - which is to be productive, to generate jobs, to put meals on their tables, to guide our children to a bright future.
