Hurricanes are getting common part of people in south east. Then why is there a lack of preparation? Why aren't there any guidelines and or rule books to follow in case of such an emergency. After 9/11, Iraq war and it's aftermath it was evident that a solid plan and communication is necessary to perform any organized work in any shape or form. Am I the only one frustrated with the lack of organization. Do people need extreme results to learn everytime? -John

Nope, Even President Bush today said that up until this point and I'm probably misquoting him that the outcome hasn't been adequate.

Unfortunately people over the years have had a lot of close calls and so I guess they held out hope that this would again be one of those and where sorely mistaken.

Luckily, a lot of people did evacuate beforehand.

We should probably take a lesson from Cuba. They have one of the best hurricane disaster plans in the world....and they are a bunch of evil communists. We don't have hurricanes in England...just cold and wet
