It seems that the superdome will be evacuated. I had been worried about the thousands of people left behind in the flooding. I think we need to do a better job in emergencies like this. For example, to evacuate we are depending on private cars and having enough money to stay in hotels for weeks. There needs to be a better way, as this leaves the destitute high and dry. Think of how many deaths we could have prevented with a better system to get people out. There were traffic jams trapping people on the roads, which exposed people to more danger, even if they had a private car.
