Under the OLD rules, Louisiana couldn't ask the Texas NG to help, or the Mississippi NG to help, because by law, they can't cross state lines.
NOW if there is the same situation, other states NG units CAN be ordered to go in and provide assistance. Personally I think I would appreciate the help!

What about simply training the NG better? That wouldn't lead us towards MORE centralization.
I'm sure that the LA NG isn't going to be caught off guard (heheh) again with flooding, as they know what to expect and have had time to repair and rethink.
