1)The national, state and local governments all should play a role in the case of natural diasters. The national government should provide funding, support and manpower. The state government should have organizations and diaster relief in order. The local government should take make sure that they are prepared for any disater that may happen in their area.
2)Each part of the government contributed to the failure of taking care of the people during Hurricane Katrina. Overall the crisis was due to the lack of communication between all of the governments. The national government set them up for failure in that they didnt not communicate to the state governments what the money was intended to fund. The state government had good intentions but did not fulfill what they said they would do. They had made a plan with the local government and did nothing to see that plan into action. The local government, believing that the state government would honor their agreement, waited until it was too late to start taking actions on their own. Thus many people lost their lives becouse the government couldn't get their act together.
