Nope, as I expected, local government is responsible for the early
screw-ups and callousness, FEMA made it worse by demanding people leave
the city for help, that the sheriffs outside the city wouldn't let them
leave, but none of the locals were likely telling FEMA they were
keeping people in the city.
