Before Hurricane Katrina struck, local officials issued evacuation orders for parts of Louisiana and Mississippi. Millions left, but thousands of people chose to stay. Some did not believe the hurricane would be as powerful as it was because they had heard prior dire predictions before that did not come true. Others simply did not have the money to evacuate. Thousands went to the shelters in New Orleans that quickly became overcrowded. Two shelters, the Superdome and the Convention Center, were sufficient for the first few days after the storm but conditions quickly became intolerable. After having witnessed Hurricane Katrina, how would you evacuate your own city for a severe hurricane? How would you set up the shelters?
