Re: My personal theory of what went wrong in NO
[ QUOTE ]
It was up to the LA governor to request troops. I didn't see or hear from her in the media, and it seems she made no decisions at all for a couple of days.
If nothing else, she should have immediately recognized the fact that she was out of her depth, and called for federal aid.
[/ QUOTE ]
She did call for aid on Tuesday in both press conferences and a personal call to Bush but that is beside the point.
Bush declared on Friday a 'Federal Emergency' thus giving (and charging) the Feds with jurisdiction.
No matter what happened in No and LA, FEMA still has not responded to Biloxi and the other MS affected communities.
