The 2004 Hurricane Plan that FEMA spend 500 thousand dollar for, and then ignored, clearly outlined that exact possibility, and predicted casualties from a CAT 4 storm of 40 - 60,000.
When they claim they didn't know what they needed, they are lying. When they claim the fault is with the local officials they are lying. The governor of Louisiana was on CNN the morning after the storm stating that a huge federal presence was on the way. It didn't arrive until Friday. Hell, the hospital ship didn't even leave Baltimore until Friday, and STILL IS NOT THERE. All the feds were patting themselves on the back about their great response, and blah, blah, blah number of meals were given to FEMA , and blah, blah, blah number of troops have been mobilized. But very few of those got to the people who needed them, and the Coast Guard is still saying they cannot save the remaining trapped victims because they DO NOT HAVE ENOUGH MANPOWER. This isn't just a failure of leadership, it is criminally negligence homicide.
