Lynn E. Davis, "Hurricane Katrina: Lessons for Army Planning and Operations"

The efforts undertaken by civilian and military organizations in response to Hurricane Katrina were historically unprecedented, but a number of changes would enhance future Army and National Guard disaster-response efforts, including preparing governors to call up Guard units for out-of-state emergencies and the creation of regional standing homeland security task forces.

I can give you the best planning advice for hurricanes, having been through the eyes of over a dozen major ones - including Katrina - spanning 5 decades. GET THE HELL OUT WHEN THEY TELL YOU! It was almost comical watching the news as the 9th Ward of New Orleans was waxing their cars as one on the Saturday before Katrina hit. Jesse "Re-Write" Jackson notwithstanding, if you left 48 hours before the storm, you were an "evacuee". If they plucked your dumb ass off the roof-top of your below-sea-level house AFTER the storm, you are a "refugee". You want planning? Take a look at predominantly white southwestern Louisiana for Hurricane Rita - oh, that's left, they didn't mention that one, did they? It hit within weeks of Katrina and devastated the better part of Southwestern Louisiana. The residents dug themselves out after having evacuated and rebuilt pretty much on their own without much in the way of government aid. Death toll? Nil. US citizens who took in Katrina refugees got tax breaks. US citizens who took in victims of Rita got the warm feeling inside you get from helping someone. The human detritus that floated out of New Orleans on evac buses has so pissed off the people who took them in that they are no longer welcome in North Louisiana, most of Texas, Alabama, and anywhere else they ended up. The residents of southwestern Louisiana were too busy rebuilding to piss anyone off.
