These are powers of the states, not the federal government.

So many lawyers, so little time. The law is NOT a suicide pact. In any event, the law needs to change, so we do not have to chat about that next time.

As a matter of policy, these powers should be left with the states. Just because LA personnel failed to act does not mean other states are equally incompetent. In general, states can handle their own emergencies far more effectively than the federal government.

The law works just fine in Mississippi, Alabama, Florida and here in North Carolina. What needs to change is the government in Louisiana.
