WLOX-TV - The News for South Mississippi: Chertoff Says, "We Have To Prepare For The Worst"

WLOX-TV - The News for South Mississippi: Chertoff Says, "We Have To Prepare For The Worst": "On a trip to Biloxi Wednesday, the Secretary of Homeland Security said his agency was better equipped to handle Mississippi's next natural disaster. But Michael Chertoff also said FEMA could only do its job if you do yours."

Maybe I am in a bad mood tonight but this article really angers me. We were prepared for the hurricane as we are for all hurricanes. We were not prepared for Katrina. We had all the water and food we needed that would have gone way beyond 72 hours as did all the other people. Common sense would tell you that the surge contaminated all we had and sadly, for so many others, the food and water went with their homes. Also why all the certainty that Mississippi will have another disaster? All hurricanes are not disasters.
