What happened to the NOLA Plan?

On the Sunday News Shows, the Talking head shows the Alphaphet Networks were thrilled as they sense the President has a breach in his Presidential "Levee" and is vulnerable. Michael Barone has a great post on this issue: http:usnews.com/usnews/opinion/baroneblog/home.htm The Levees that gave away were the ones that were reinforced by the Bush administration! Bloggers need to hit this issue as the MSM liars including Russert and especially Lardball are Lying by ommission! When Jefferson Parish President was asked about why busses weren't used to evacuate the "poor people without cars" he started crying croc tears over the Sheriff's mother who drowned after waiting for the her sheriff son to pick her up! Also check out the NOAA satellite photos from Junkyard Blog regarding NOLA's Mayor Nagin's and Gov Blanco's hanging chads with the school buses www.junkyardblog.net/archives/week_2005_08_28.html#004752

"Katrina's threat was so acute that President Bush joined the chorus of officials who urged New Orleans Mayor C. Ray Nagin and Louisiana Gov. Kathleen Babineaux Blanco to order a mandatory evacuation, issued Sunday morning after lower-lying areas outside the city were cleared Saturday. Bush declared a state of emergency for the area threatened by the storm, which clears the way for federal assistance, including a small fleet of much-needed boats."

It was Bush that asked the Gov and Mayor to order a mandatory evacuation, NOT their idea at all.

John Please feel free to post on your blog if you think this informative....as i still can't get onto my blog...
I would like the Center Right Talk Show Powerhouses like Hugh Hewitt et al inform the public on this raw deal the President is getting!
The safe evacuation of threatened populations when endangered by a major catastrophic event is one of the principle reasons for developing a Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan. The thorough identification of at-risk populations, transportation and sheltering resources, evacuation routes and potential bottlenecks and choke points, and the establishment of the management team that will coordinate not only the evacuation but which will monitor and direct the sheltering and return of affected populations, are the primary tasks of evacuation planning. Due to the geography of New Orleans and the varying scales of potential disasters and their resulting emergency evacuations, different plans are in place for small-scale evacuations and for citywide relocations of whole populations.

The Mayor of New Orleans had the example of New York's former Mayor Rudy G. who was not a federal official but a local one. Mayor Rudy didn't have the heads up that Mayor Nagin had. Check out the Plan "Authority to issue evacuations of elements of the population is vested in the Mayor. By Executive Order, the chief elected official, the Mayor of the City of New Orleans, has the authority to order the evacuation of residents threatened by an approaching hurricane.

Evacuation procedures for special needs persons with either physical or mental handicaps, including registration of disabled persons, is covered in the SOP for Evacuation of Special Needs" Persons.http://www.cityofno.com/portal.aspx?portal=46&tabid=26
