Nervous City
The citizens of New Orleans are pretty nervous right now, making plans to evacuate. Businesses implementing their emergency plans. Our organization is definitely better prepared than we were for Katrina. The outcome could be the same storms don’t follow scripts. Every one is different and you never know what might happen. I am not pushing the panic button yet. I have been through this drill many times and know that what they project today may not be the case tomorrow. I won’t predict whether we will get hit or not, I am ready to go if I have to but I won’t if I don’t. I have seen people over the last couple of days whose emotions run from fear to depression. I am feeling somewhat indifferent, there is nothing I can do to change what will happen I am going to go with the flow and hope for the best. With any luck this thing won’t come our way. The problem is that it is going to go someones way and that can really ruin a person’s day and in some cases their lives. Everyone who lives here and who lived here during Katrina and the federal flood should have made plans already.
