Interesting Sandy - Katrina contrasts

[Aardvark154]

I really don't know how you could compare FEMA's response to Sandy to what happened after Katrina. Their response then was abysmal. Rather then news networks I would rather go with the opinion of those who are actually in charge in their state. Governor Christie siad that "cooperation has been great with FEMA here on the ground". Delaware's Governor John Markell said that people there had been "really, really impressed by the response of FEMA". Or do you assume they are both wrong?

I assume that people who say they aren't getting the help they need, know a lot more about it than the Governor sitting in their office over fifty-five miles away.

I suppose Fuji was also unable to find any television news reports either http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7sMUliO79mg

Yeah I know the reporter is just making it all up with a bunch of actors -right? :frusty:

Probably. It seems a bit iffy to me that you've got a situation with cars driving by as normal on the road and a TV reporter standing around, and you are saying that people are starving and don't have access to fresh water? My sense is you have about a zillion charities and other services in the city that would respond even if FEMA didn't, so I call BS.

Let me know when the death toll from Sandy hits 1800 people, or when there is even ONE report of illness resulted to unsafe drinking water in the aftermath.

Who do you think could do a better job Aardvark? The Red Cross? Halliburton?
