Katrina Screw-ups? At state, local levels in NOLA.

Top federal officials left out of loop

State and local officials did not inform top federal officials early on of the deaths and lack of food among hurricane victims in the Superdome or convention center, Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff said yesterday. Mr. Chertoff said neither he nor Federal Emergency Management Agency chief Michael Brown was told of the deteriorating situation in New Orleans until Thursday night.
"This is clearly something that was disturbing. It was disturbing to me when I learned about it, which came as a surprise. You know, the very day that this emerged in the press, I was on a video conference with all the officials, including state and local officials. And nobody, none of the state and local officials or anybody else was talking about a convention center," Mr. Chertoff told CNN.

Why should this be a big surprise? The NOLA emergency plans called for using city transit and school buses to help with evacuation. On the occasion however, the city left the buses to get flooded, while people were stranded without transportation. Not much the Feds had to do with THAT! A better evacuation would have avoided many of the rescue problems that were all too present.
