Katrina

There is no doubt that hurricane Katrina is one of the most devastating natural disasters in the history of the United States. I have to salute to the efforts of the national guards, volunteers, sate, local and federal workers. But I feel since due the inexperience of disasters like these we are unable to help the victims in terms of getting basic necessities with urgency. I think we must also address the stagnating water issue by applying (spraying) appropriate chemicals to prevent the spread of diseases.
