21 years after Hurricane Katrina, FEMA is still failing

Twenty-one years after Hurricane Katrina, FEMA's continued shortcomings highlight ongoing issues in disaster preparedness. Despite the lessons from Katrina, FEMA struggles to effectively respond to natural disasters, raising concerns about the nation's readiness for future crises. This failure underscores the urgent need for systemic changes in disaster management to prevent the same mistakes from recurring and to protect communities at risk. The implications are significant, as a poorly prepared FEMA could lead to devastating outcomes in the face of natural disasters.
