I had been wondering why school/public transit busses had not been used to aid in the evacuation of the city before the hurricane made landfall.
It's been a while since I have been in New Orleans, I think that is the bus yard near the convention center, which has about 200 school busses.
When the 17th street levee gave way on Tuesday, the flooding made the busses useless.
There is also apparently a matter of Louisiana Governor Blanco refusing Federal aid in the evacuation because she did not want to allow the Feds to take control of the evacuation efforts. Governor Blanco also apparently did not request mutual aid assistance until Wednesday.
I think Louisiana residents need to look closer to home for most of the "unpreparedness" problems.
