The Feds did not even have troops on the ground in MSY much less any other part of the state(s) involved in the hurricane.

I was merely pointing out that when the Feds choose to act quickly, they have that ability.

Not sure what you were watching but here in the states you could turn to pretty much any news station and see live feeds of how messed up everything was during and after the hurricane hit. That is why there is the up roar about how slow the response was. It took them 4 days to evacuate the hospital where people were on life support.

I do not know what should / could have been done before the fact. How do you evacuate a city of 500,000 people in 24-36 hours? I do not think that can be pinned on the Feds. If the Feds knew that MSY was going to be a waste land after a Cat 5 (which the reports of 91 and 01 seem to indicate that they did) then the Feds IMOP, should have stepped in long ago to say hey, either you come up with a plan or we do.

After the fact, troops should have been on the ground starting 24 hrs after the fact. There is no reason that it should have taken 96 hours for full scale rescue to start.
