It is my belief based upon my understanding of the facts and the situation that hurricane Katrina could have been avoided. With me being in the military I of all people know about complacency. Katrina is a great example of that. Warnings had been sent out years before and the people have now become accustomed to hearing them. However, one of the essential lessons that we learn in the military is that complacency kills, and that is exactly what happened hear. In addition to the fact that many ignored the warning, there remains the pivotal fact that the ones who should be held responsible are those who developed the city to begin with. The area is far below sea level and a majority of the area is likened to a swamp. So, it is my steadfast view that in the future we can avoid many of the most devastating natural disasters on earth by heeding the warnings and by not developing far below sea level and the 100 year a FLOOD LINE.
