1.) All forms of government where trying to warn the city before the hurricane hit, however there was not enough time to evacuate everyone because they did not inform them soon enough. Then after words tried to evaluate the damages and send in clean-up crews and had government money to help clean and rebuild the city.
2.) Each form of government did their part to warn the city about the natural disaster and help clean and rebuild afterwords. however it wasn't in the best way possible the clean up was very slow they where not prepared for everything. there was not enough food, buses where left stranded that could have saved lives, and the warning call came way to late.
3.) I am agreeing with the article I feel that FEMA is a great thing to have for big natural disasters. In the article it states that they should not down grade FEMA but instead of using them for any disaster only use them for MAJOR disasters to have more people on one job and have a better outcome on clean-up and reaction times.
I agree with your stand on all of the questions.
Although they warned the city and helped to clean and rebuild after, they didn't warn soon enough, or prepare enough. They could have done more, and a lot better job of it.
I agree they were very slow.
