With all of the advanced warning at least a week prior to the event, how much was done in preparation for the impending disaster? How much water, food, generators etc... were stockpiled in anticipation for the need that would come as a result of the hurricane? This isn't the first time this has happened in a highly populated area in recent history.
How many people stockpiled for their own needs or worked together in neighborhoods, apartment complexes, through churces, shelters etc... to be as ready as possible? I haven't heard what, if anything, was done in preparation to move in and provide emergency supplies and medical attention as needed? Why wasn't the National Guard mobilized in advance and ready to engage immediately folowing?
All we see in the media is the masses that appeared to have waited out the storm and weren't prepared only to demand immediate help, blame others, fight with each other, take advantage of each other etc...
It's an unfortunate situation that could have been better prepared for.
