Re: [H] It's bad, really bad - Katrina

Ever hear of the disaster mitigation effort "Project Impact" from FEMA to build a disaster resistant community? Did quite well, for example it helped prevent major damage in the earthquake in the Puget Sound area do to the retrofitting done. Plus it only had a $20 million nation wide budget.

Re: [H] It's bad, really bad - Katrina

Strange you should mention total evacuation and desertion of the city. I was thinking that may be the only option, even after it is pumped out. No one knows what has happened to the ground structure; it may not be livable again and maybe it would just be best to let the Gulf have it's land back.

Very good, Brian. I, too, am getting very tired of these ranting agendas. We have a lot of people out there that are dying or will be if help does not get there. This include the morons that stayed for the parties, surfing, jet skiing, etc. Nonetheless they need help, not agendas. Jeff -
