We didn't make Katrina Tec. And we have raised a ton of money for the victims.
I think part of this is man-made, but not the federal government's fault. The people of the area were given a mandatory evac order. If those people were that worried, then they should have used their big mouths they've discovered with the media and ordered their mayor to enact the evac plans that were in place.
The federal government isn't a superhero. It cannot move tons of supplies and personnel to a flooded area instantaneously. Also, the flooded conditions make it almost impossible for any real watercraft to get to the area. It's too shallow for anything bigger than a john boat, so that means small RHIB's, which carry around 8 people. Otherwise, it's swamp boats, and the government doesn't keep a flotilla of these things.
