Lessons Learned from Katrina

Here is a story regarding the review of disaster plans in the Washington D.C. area (via WVEC.com).

Shaken by what they view as a slow federal response to Hurricane Katrina, regional leaders are reviewing their disaster plans in hopes of avoiding a similar catastrophe.

Metropolitan areas across the country would be well-advised to review their plans too.

In the upcoming months there will be tons of "lessons learned" lists. Here is one from Instapundit.

My two cents: Everyone needs to take personal responsibility for their own safety. It isn't the local, state, or federal governments' job to protect us from every possible danger. Be prepared with extra supplies, money, and transportation.
