Federalism Katrina and FEMA

After watching the Frontline video on Katrina and reading the FEMA article from the Heritage Foundation, react to the following questions:

1) What role did the National, State and Local Governments have in preventing, mitigating and reacting to Hurricane Katrina?

2) Evaluate how each level of government performed its duties. Be specific and back up your points with facts and logic.

3) After reading the "FEMA and federalism" article, take a stand about the role of the federal government in natural disasters.
