• “Local, state and federal emergency agencies had been planning for years how to respond before and after this kind of emergency. They even had practice drills where every kind of relief issue was reviewed -- food, water, security and health -- and who was responsible for delivering those services was specifically laid out in numerous plans.
But many of those plans fell apart in Katrina's aftermath. Despite warnings of a worst-case scenario, bureaucratic wrangles prevented soldiers from getting to the scene, the plan for emergency communications left police in the dark and helpless, and truckloads of emergency supplies ended up hundreds of miles away. Four days after Katrina hit, it was still unclear who was in charge of the relief effort”
• In a special report on All Things Considered, NPR's Laura Sullivan and Daniel Zwerdling examine how the disaster called Hurricane Katrina unfolded.
