Hurricane Katrina
I really ought to mention it, you know? I mean, a city of over one million people uninhabitable for months-- if ever again; not something to ignore. On the other hand, I don’t know what to say. Donate Now...
I suppose we could play the blame game:
For example, in the 1990s, in planning for a New Orleans nightmare scenario, the federal government figured it would pre-deploy nearby ships with pumps to remove water from the below-sea-level city and have hospital ships nearby, said James Lee Witt, who was FEMA director under President Clinton.Federal officials said a hospital ship would leave from Baltimore on Friday.
And we can send out our prayers. I dunno. It all just seems so ineffectual at this point...
