BEFORE you are supposed to evacuate BEFORE. That is all.

2. The sad part is that HS/FEMA

couldn't even get it together for 5 days after and there was a highway from the west that was clear the whole time.

Bush Administration Touts Rita Readiness

WASHINGTON - The Bush administration is advertising its stepped-up response plans for Hurricane Rita before the storm hits the Gulf Coast, eager to avoid the public pounding it got for its reaction to Hurricane Katrina.

Hundreds of truckloads of water, ice and ready-made meals arrived Tuesday at locations in Rita's path along the Florida and Texas coastlines, and rescue and medical teams were standing by as the storm swept across the Gulf of Mexico.

"We know that there is going to be a period of time before help gets to you," Paulison told reporters in Washington. "So you need to make sure you have your family's plan in place, your evacuation plans in place. Make sure you have food, water, medicine, all the things you need to survive for a couple of days on your own."

Dubya look good. Not to worry, the poor people in LA and MS can fend for themselves.
