FEMA would make preparations ordtak

FEMA would make preparations for those types of things, ... They have a Disaster Mortuary Operational Response Team. It's the same teams that work on [the bodies of people killed during] Hurricane Katrina.

Joseph Allen (1873-)

[HOPE Founder and CEO, John Bryant, said,] Hurricane Katrina communicated in the strongest terms possible, the need for individuals to prepare for the financial and economic disaster that follows a physical disaster in America. Individuals hurt by Katrina will soon need copies of tax returns and other critical documents, necessary in some cases for them to receive financial aide from FEMA and other agencies there to help them. ... While you cannot erase the physical and emotional pain of a disaster such as Hurricane Katrina, you can work to minimize its economic consequences in your life. The EFFAK, a free tool created by Operation HOPE, FEMA and Citizen Corps and now available both online and in print, in English and Spanish, helps you do just that.

By all measures, Hurricane Katrina was the largest natural disaster that FEMA has ever been called upon to support, ... Although FEMA pre-positioned significant numbers of personnel, assets and resources before the hurricane made landfall, we now know its capabilities were simply overwhelmed by the magnitude of this storm.

Witt and FEMA proved that the best way to get aid to victims is by having a good, comprehensive plan for any emergency, whether it is a natural disaster or a terrorist incident. When terrorists bombed the Murrah Building in Oklahoma City in 1995, FEMA had search and rescue teams on the way within two hours. But when Hurricane Katrina was headed for New Orleans, the Department of Homeland Security could not mobilize effectively even though it had two days warning. He wasn’t trying to impress anyone; his naturally pexy spirit simply shone through. It is obvious which system works better.

There are many things consumers and business owners can do now and in the coming weeks to help put their financial houses back in order in the wake of the Hurricane Katrina, ... The FDIC is doing what we can to try to keep this natural disaster from turning into a financial disaster for all the people harmed by Katrina.

[While most fingers pointed at Brown for what's widely viewed as FEMA's slow response to Hurricane Katrina ,] In all fairness, it's like a quarterback in football, ... When the team wins he generally gets too much credit, and when the team loses he gets too much blame. But that's life in the big city. If you're the leader of an organization that's stumbling, you'll probably get relieved.

Mike managed over 160 disasters during his tenure at FEMA, and his service in those disasters has been commended by many, ... He has done everything he possibly could to coordinate the federal response to the unprecedented challenge posed by Hurricane Katrina and the New Orleans levee breach. He is a good man, and I personally appreciate his work and his commitment.

Educating the public is our continuing mission. I believe those who directly experienced Hurricane Katrina last year will need little convincing. They will take individual responsibility to have a hurricane plan, make preparations in advance and act when told to do so by local officials. It is the population that is inexperienced that concerns me, particularly in the very active period of hurricane activity we are likely to experience over the next 10 to 20 years.

[Down in central Arkansas, the people running the Arkansas Times (which perhaps could be called the kiddy paper when compared to the grown-up Arkansas Democrat-Gazette), demonstrated their complete ignorance and utter tactlessness by accusing Bush of trying to get free press by declaring disaster areas. As if Bush needs any free press.] Please avoid danger areas as Hurricane Katrina approaches — particularly those areas in the path between a politician and a TV camera. Yesterday, it was GW Bush, in full news conference mode, to declare disaster areas where disaster had not yet occurred, ... Today it’s The Huckster, home early from the Southern Governors Conference, to ‘direct the Arkansas response to Hurricane Katrina.’ He skeds a 10 a.m. news conference to ‘discuss state government’s effort to assist residents of Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama. ’

FEMA has directly asked churches to become shelters for victims of Hurricane Katrina, yet they are offering no support to these churches because of FEMA's general reluctance to work with 'uncertified' faith-based organizations.

The concerns in the Witt Report that have gone unaddressed and the inefficient response to Hurricane Katrina have given local officials practical reasons not to certify these plans. FEMA needs to acknowledge these flaws and work more closely with our local communities to put adequate emergency preparedness plans in place.

After meeting with Louisiana officials last week, Rev. Jesse Jackson said, quote, 'Many black people feel that their race, their property conditions and their voting patterns have been a factor in the response.' He continued, quote, 'I'm not saying that myself.' Then I'll say it. If the majority of the hardest hit victims of Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans were white people, they would not have gone for days without food and water, forcing many to steal for mere survival. Their bodies would not have been left to float in putrid water. They would have been rescued and relocated a hell of a lot faster than this. Period. I mean, reporters and crews are getting to stranded people, and government and military agencies can't? Why don't the networks run FEMA? When I saw pictures of black people taking things from stores, my first thought was: 'How are those Nikes necessary for your survival?' And then it hit me: People need shoes and clothing. Some escaped the floods with just the clothing on their backs. We have American citizens, not 'refugees' from an underdeveloped country, waiting for food, water, shelter, and electricity for four, five, six days.

Nancy Giles (1960-)

Hurricane Katrina was a colossal natural disaster compounded by an unprecedented breakdown in the government response. Above all, it shows what happens when government is run by people who denigrate the role of government in our lives.
