Book Review: Unacceptable: The Federal Response to Hurricane Katrina
By Lynne Glasner (about the author) Page 2 of 2 page(s)
A LOT of people, especially the talk-show mouths, believe that the federal government shouldn't do everything, that the locals should be doing this, and keep federal government out of our lives. The blame, they said, wasn't with Bush, but in local response. These people are plain wrong. A disaster the size of Katrina needed to have a strong federal presence; it is greater than any local agency could handle. Each local municipality should have had plans to deal with its own part-including communications, public information, and evacuation, but the magnitude of a widespread catastrophe, spread over three states, requires a federal response.
