Saw a programme dealing with the possible aftermath of a huge Earthquake in L.A. Disturbingly it said that in such an event widespread civil disorder, panic and chaos would render efforts at aid virtually impossible. The policy is to seal off whole areas and allow the violence and looting to play itself out. After a week or more those trapped will be exhausted weak hungry and easier to control. Then the Army and aid would go in. Does anyone else think that the hold up in sending the army and aid agencies to N.O. indicates a similar government policy with regard to other natural disasters When the entire south is underwater from rising sea levels, how will we cope then?

DELAYS IN N.O. part of Governmental Disaster Policy?

I think it's garbage. If this disaster had occured in a predominantly wealthy locale ... (e.g. Hiltonhead, SC) relief would have been nearly immediate. In fact, many of New Orleans disaster plans had as a component showing favoritism towards more affluent neighborhoods when it came to priority of evacuation and preventive measures.
