You're totally right, of course. Mayors really don't have the resources under their authority to handle a situation of this magnitude. I'd say even state governors don't have the resources to deal with such a situation, especially in a more poor state like louisiana. This kind of thing requires immediate action by the federal government. The Feds declared a state of emergency BEFORE the storm hit..they knew what was coming. How could they not have begun preparing relief/control forces?
Props again to Mayor Nagin for telling it like it is and making it clear in concrete terms the incredible gravity of the situation.
