Katrina was clearly a state and local screwup. The feds dropped the ball by not applying pressure to get people in gear to get the evacuations underway. If you remember, the Louisiana officials were all chasing their shadows until the media came knocking. When the media came knocking everybody wanted to take charge and blame the feds.

If Louisiana had a clear and concise disaster plan like Oklahoma. The Katrina story would have been a story of community team work and effective government leadership.
