St Bernard Parish President said the same thing though. They would call for a mandatory, but lack the resources required to do so.


I saw three police cars in a school zone this morning with a speed gun trying to write tickets.

Not having resources in the face of a potential emergency seems relative.

After thinking about that statement I am guessing that since Katrina there have been standards placed on calling for a mandatory evac. Like the Parish/City has to have a certain amount of resources on hand, and 15 years on municipalities have become complacent.

Basically St Bernard or Orleans call for an evac and it puts them in place to provide buses or resources that they dont have and can't get
