Ok, but if you live in America (which you don't so don't take this
personnally, Jim F.) 
possibly drive a petroleum consuming auto, your head is on that list, and so
is mine.  
Read the National Geographic article.

Just guessing, but I think FEMA will take the hit because they are mostly
defenseless 
but given the results, everyone failed.

Can we say, conflict of interests?  We rolled the dice and lost.  Is it a 
game we want to keep playing at these stakes?  The answer is likely yes.

Technical solutions are part of the solution.  How much will you pay to 
party on Bourbon Street, drink chicory coffee at the Cafe du Monde and 
drive an SUV?  No free lunch.  That interests me because it tells me 
how much product we have to develop and why.  The technologies this list 
is dedicated to have a prominent role.

I think the solution to this particular problem is clear; all heads should
roll should roll who were in the chain of command, with the potential for
criminal charges to be pressed.
