There's the rub. You can't really elect people to anticipate these things, you have to hire them. Apparently, plenty of people were hired at the local, state, and federal levels who understood this event would occur. The problem is, very few elected officials actually listened to them, and the ones that did, apparently couldn't actually *do* anything about it.
There will be plenty of opportunities for blame-laying in the post-mortem. Nobody's hands are totally clean in all this, from the federal government all the way down to the people who are still there who refuse to leave.
