There are a lot of things people don't know about the government and what they did when hurricane Katrina hit. They fail to realize all the good the government done did for them during the situation and after but since most of the people are just stating all the bad that happened people start to think the government is no good for us. If you really pay attention to what happen then you would understand that the government couldn't really do nothing to avoid this problem because no one in they right mind would be able to plan something like that and have a plan to stop it from happening. They did do all what they can to help as many people like in the begin when they found out it was all going to happen they told the people and wanted to make them all leave but a lot could not cause they didn't have the right amount of money to leave. Then during the fact they found out a lot of people stayed so they sent out rescue groups to save the lives of the ones who stayed. Even when the hurricane Katrina was still there some people still risked there lives to save people they don't know because everybody was blaming the government for way went down.
Now if we look at what the stats show for what the government sent out during the hurricane and after you would say dang they did a good job. Scott Price told the news reporter "The scale of operations during the Katrina response defies imagination and the statistics generated are almost unbelievable. Search and rescue operations alone saved 24,135 lives from imminent danger, usually off the roofs of the victims’ homes as flood waters lapped at their feet. Coast Guardsmen “evacuated to safety” 9,409 patients from local hospitals. In total, 33,545 souls owed their lives to the men and women of the nation’s oldest continuous-going sea service, nearly equaling the number of persons the Coast Guard saves during a calendar year". See if people would have actually looked at these stats they would feel bad because they would realize now that the government did try and help more then what people think so some would change they though on the government and others would still think the same. Also the government did not have to send the coast guards out there to save them people because they government did tell all the people to leave so it wasn't they fault that a lot decided to stay so think about that.
