Hurricane Katrina

According to some reports, the warnings were made well in advance.

Yet, not much was done. It happened in the world’s most powerful country.

There are reports of looting and hoarding. Even worse.

The issues were administrative, managerial and political.

Well thought out disaster management plans met the same disaster.

Internet is flooded with maps, GIS and ‘pre’ and ‘post’ satellite imagery.

Technology might deliver also.
