Katrina brought focus on the levees, Ida on the Grid. As my US Military History Professor told us an army is always ready to fight the last war, so it will always be a catch up game dealing with the aftermath of storms of this or greater magnitude. What really needs to be addressed is climate change as that is the elephant in the room.

Yet the voters of LA will continue to send republicans to congress who will vote against money for others but take credit for the money they get. Louisiana, a welfare state that takes what it needs but bitches about the needs of others.

After Super Storm Sandy destroyed the tri-state area the red states all screamed that America could not afford to help with federal dollars and the east coast was on its own.
But yet we pay and pay every time texass gets hit with a storm. Hey texass how about you pay your own way, you did not want to help us!
