Interesting that NO ONE has mentioned the failure of the local and state - DEM - governments.

As if FEMA and the Executive Branch are the only agencies in North America that have the capacity to plan and execute disaster relief.

Local Dems often think of local government as just an appendage of the central planning board in DC. Local Dems are in the habit of doing what the Feds fund/bribe them to do.

That is also why they are bent out of shape by a Bush administration. They now have to take orders from Bush. They lack the concept of local sovereignty.
