Or even to a single emergency plan that calls for the natural gas supply to an entire city being shut off in advance of an approaching storm.
Go right ahead and blame the mayor for not doing something that no mayor in the country would do in the same situation. But that is just stupid.
Perhaps, but the gas being shut off is only one of many things that appears to be going wrong.
Actually, I believe that CNN reported at some point that it *was* part of the "Plan" that NO had.
After San Fran 1906, most city disaster plans include turning off the gas system after a disaster until the system integrity can be verified. It's SOP in Dallas, I know that for a fact.
