So the resignation of the New Orleans police force not news? I guess not.

I suppose their force did as good a job as anyone could expect.

Would be comfortable if you knew that the city of Los Angeles or city of San Francisco currently used an emergency earthquake disaster policy written to the exact detail and executed with the same precision as New Orleans and its officials did?

If you realized that this were so, would you look to the FEMA and people in Washington DC to fix it for you, disregarding your own mayor and elected officials?

Does your statement imply that FEMA should be given more centralized powers during any natural disaster?

As an aside, since it's pertinent to this thread, these proposals to give more powers to the President in a natural disaster are extremely bad.
Hopefully it is so half baked it will die a quick death.
