Responses To The Wildfire (Old Blog For Crossbridge)

I think the response to the wildfires was quicker than the response to hurricane Katrina because of the money aspect. As we all know California is home to many wealthy people. It seemed as though authorites worked quickly and efficently trying to not only put out the fire, and help it not to spread, but also to evactuate the people who lived in the area. As an emergency worker it is pertinent to save as many lives as possible but when you compare and contrast the reactions to the wildfires vs. katrina, we see one was obviously better than other. I feel like the response to Katrina was delayed due to the fact that a majority of the people were poor. it also almost seemed as though the president used this incident to clean up his failings in Katrina.
