New Orleans emergency plan

Betsy's Page blogged Captain Ed takes a detailed look at the New Orleans emergency plan and concludes it was a flawed plan and they failed to follow even the little that they had down. They must be wishing that that web site with the emergency plan had gone down with the hurricane since everyone can now see how inadequate their planning was and then see that they were apparently incapable of following the plans that they had in place. When it became apparent that Katrina was heading into the Gulf, didn't anyone take these plans down, dust them off, and look at how to implement them? Apparently, not.

Captain Ed blogged Today's Palm Beach Post takes a look at the Katrina response from a Floridian point of view, one that has plenty of experience with hurricane devastation and response. The verdict of Florida's emergency response officials is that not only did Louisiana fail to properly plan and train for an eminently forseeable disaster, but it also failed to follow the flawed plan it had

I encourage everyone to read the Captain's post
