Strongly worded warnings have been used to make people take past emergencies more seriously Buchanan said. As Hurricane Ike barreled down on Texas last September the agency warned Galveston residents to take cover “or face certain death. “The warnings should sound dire Vanderbilt’s English said. “You want to capture the attention of the listener. I’m not sure the way they do things now always captures that attention. ” But even the most serious of warnings may fall on deaf ears if the alerts are sounded too frequently he said.

New rleans Still Ravaged by Hurricane Damage

Between a busy law practice and a trip to New rleans last week I have not had much time to post here. My wife and I went to New rleans for a conference last week. As part of the conference we received a tour of the famous Lower 9th Ward which sustained a great amount of damage from Hurricane Katrina. For the most part not much is on the news up here about the challenges still facing the Katrina ravaged areas. We also had the opportunity to do some volunteer work at the former Archbishop Hannan High School which is being converted into a community center. We helped build benches picnic tables and various painting projects. While not in the news much many volunteer groups are still going to New rleans to help rebuild even three and a half years later.
