The Govenor has refused to allow the Guard to be federalized and put 
under a unified command structure as well as hired outside consultants 
to do relief efforts thus hampering a unifed relief effort.

The blame lays with the Govenor and Mayor who failed to act according to 
the plans that were inplace to advert such tragedy that has occurred. 
The are the ones who acted too slowly.  The had all the federal help at 
their disposal if that asked for it.  The federal Goverment can not 
upsurp local jurisdiction when a natural disaster strikes.  The only 
time Federal Government takes over efforts is when the local authorities 
relinquish authority to the Feds.
