What's funny is how the media is claiming there was no plan.
Plan? We don't need no stinkin plan!
Has this been posted here yet?
bump for later reading
Maybe Blanco hasn't seen it.
I'm sure John Kerry had a plan, he has a plan for everything.
I should have excerpted this. It is really long to scroll through.
Step 1: You live in a hole... keep a life preserver handy.
Step 2: Get out!
A. Evacuation Time Requirements
Using information developed as part of the Southeast Louisiana Hurricane Task Force and other research, the City of New Orleans has established a maximum acceptable hurricane evacuation time standard for a Category 3 storm event of 72 hours. This is based on clearance time or is the time required to clear all vehicles evacuating in response to a hurricane situation from area roadways. Clearance time begins when the first evacuating vehicle enters the road network and ends when the last evacuating vehicle reaches its destination.
Clearance time also includes the time required by evacuees to secure their homes and prepare to leave (mobilization time); the time spent by evacuees traveling along the road network (travel time); and the time spent by evacuees waiting along the road network due to traffic congestion (delay time). Clearance time does not refer to the time a single vehicle spends traveling on the road network. Evacuation notices or orders will be issued during three stages prior to gale force winds making landfall.
> Precautionary Evacuation Notice: 72 hours or less
> Special Needs Evacuation Order: 8-12 hours after Precautionary Evacuation Notice issued
> General Evacuation Notice: 48 hours or less
Who is Bill O'Reilly?
Bwaaaaaaaaaaaaah.
Unfortunately, the plan was not published in the right lauguage. A translator should have been used to translate the plan into a language that the citizens of New Orleans can understand.
