So, do you think it is the responsibility of the federal government to
develop evacuation and disaster response plans for every city and
every
State in the Union? What level of responsibility do you think that
the
individual cities and States have?

That's an urban legend. Mayor Nagin claims to be a lifelong
Democrat.

True!
>From Wikipedia:
Nagin (pronounced NAY-ghin) was born in New Orleans, Louisiana to a
Creole family. He spent his early years in the Seventh Ward, until his
family moved to the New Aurora section of Algiers in the early 1970s.
He graduated from O. Perry Walker High School [citation needed] and
received a BS in Accounting from Tuskegee University in Tuskegee,
Alabama in 1978 and an MBA from Tulane University in 1994. He and his
wife, Seletha Smith Nagin, have three children; Jeremy, Jarin, and
Tianna.
Before his election in 2002, Nagin had never held public office; he
was a vice president and general manager at Cox Communications, a
cable company and subsidiary of Cox Enterprises. Several news sources,
including BBC News and numerous blogs and editorials[1][2][3] have
stated that Nagin was a registered Republican for most of his adult
life, switching to the Democratic Party shortly before seeking office
[1][2]. In a January 13, 2006 interview on the Tavis Smiley show,
Nagin himself denied these rumors, stating that he "never was a
Republican" and that he has been a "life-long Democrat",[4] and
several of the news sources reporting that he was a Republican have
since issued retractions. [5] He did give contributions periodically
to candidates of both parties, including Republican President George
W. Bush [6] and Representative Billy Tauzin in 1999 and 2000, as well
as Democratic Senators John Breaux and J. Bennett Johnston, Jr.
earlier in the decade.
