In the City of New Orleans
immediately after Hurricane Katrina, a variety of political and local managers and
leaders congregated in the Central Business District in an effort to arrive at a
consensus as to the wisest course of action. Among those present was Michael Brown,
the director of FEMA, Ray Nagin, the Mayor of New Orleans, and various state
politicians. No action plan could be developed as each respective politician was so
focused on their own needs that they soon became blinded to effective alternatives.
Added to those problems were the combined effects of serious deficiencies in
communication and coordination of rescue efforts.
