Katrina Coverage

The deficits of Boston's plan to evacuate their city sounds vaguely like those in New Orleans. Some of them are listed in "Hub evac plan useless: Traffic jams mean 'you're dead'":

# Shaky plans for those who cannot "self-evacuate" in their own cars;

# No concrete plan to ensure hospitals and nursing homes are rapidly evacuated;

# No plans for prison evacuations;

# Lack of a clear mass notification mechanism after a disaster, terror attack or other "critical incident";

# No designated mass shelter – like New Orleans' Superdome – that would be stocked with food, water and medical supplies in the event of a catastrophe;

# Confusing traffic plans that could result in dangerous gridlock
