Synopsis "Logistical Response to Assist in Answering the Call of Defense Support to Civilian Authorities in Disaster Response"

During Hurricane Katrina, the levees in New Orleans failed turning a potential crisis into a catastrophic incident. The public began to question the responsibility and requirements of the United States (US) government in responding to the total devastation of New Orleans as the media continually showed the death and destruction. The public wanted answers on how the Federal government was going to provide quick and timely assistance in evacuation, search and rescue, and distribution of supplies (food and water).

The end-result was the creation of an appendix that allows one to examine each of the Emergency Su
