Katrina Update

Saw this Katrina update on Instapundit .

Very interesting and what looks like a communications breakdown from all involved. Bureaucracies move slow and when you are all in the CYA game people don't make decisions unless there is a committee. Apparently, no one wanted to believe the worst and were waiting on confirmation from someone they knew and trusted.

The local, state and federal gov't failed not because of the system because certain people failed. Luckily for many the United State Coast Guard started saving people right away. This report from Popular Mechanics lays out a lot of what happened.

Will we be better prepared next time. I certainly hope so.
