Consider the contrasting responses of the government and the official machinery for two of the worst natural disasters this week.
The Federal, State and Local governments did a tremendous job in coordinating the evacuation of 1.9 million people from the Gulf coastal regions of the United States in response to Hurricane Gustav. I guess the three governmental entities seemed to have learned a lesson on two from the disaster that was Hurricane Katrina
Consider this with the response of the State and Central Government in India to the Bihar floods. Lalu Yadav, Railway Minister did not shy away from playing politics during this dire situation. Also a recent report in the Time of India states that there is no such thing as a disatser management strategy in place.
When will India and its politicians learn from their mistakes.
