Having Witt as Louisiana's head of emergency management really made a difference for them, didn't it?
FEMA only comes when called. You don't call, they don't come.
You don't implement the emergency management plans that are recommended identifying deficits in your system, you tend to find out exactly how good those recommendations were in the first place, and how much you should have followed them.
As a result of the "Hurricane Pam" drills one year prior to Katrina, New Orleans knew exactly what would happen if a Cat-5 hit, and what they had to do about it.
None of it got done.
30 years worth of federal funding to improve the levees did everything except improve the levees.
You reap what you sow.
