The residents of San Diego County stuck together and helped each other instead of trying to take advantage of the chaos to their own gain.
BTW, there was a story here of a handful of guys who were stealing relief supplies that had been delivered to Qualcomm Stadium. A fire victim reported it and they were cuffed and stuffed. Another real difference between this situation and New Orleans is the nature of the disaster. Apart from trained emergency workers, only a complete fool would voluntarily go into that fire zone, with wind gusts up to 100 mph and towering walls of flame burning everything in sight. That kind of mortal peril didn't exist in New Orleans due to the flooding of the city. But still, the big difference is how people here helped each other.
