"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary." ~ H.L. Mencken
Who Plans Best for Natural Disasters?

"As Hurricane Isaac rakes the U.S. Gulf Coast, it’s worth reminding ourselves who really plans well for disasters and does the best job responding to them. In the last few days TV crews have endlessly interviewed politicians about how well prepared the local communities and states are for the impending storm. As politicians are wont to do, they give the usual answers about whom they’ve mobilized and what they are prepared for, mostly focusing on public safety (such as mobilizing the National Guard). But as important as public safety is, it is hardly the only issue in disaster preparation."
