Is the situation in Myanmar show what happens when you do not have disaster preparedness at all?

Yangon, Myanmar – The death toll rose above 22,000 on Tuesday of the cyclone and more than 41,000 others were missing as the international community prepared to rush to the aid after the storm country's deadliest in history, state radio. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080506/ap_on_re_as/myanmar_cyclone I guess it's the trade when you do not pay taxes or live in a first world country. How does this response of governments to ours during Hurricane Katrina? It is a comparison, but fair?

Sure, they could have come in their cars and headed for the mountains, right? Or not, as they say 63,000 and more would have gone anywhere with little food, and even dead. If a large earthquake in Los Angeles and somehow we knew of it twelve hours in advance, and spread the news, do you think would different? Mother Nature is ab (i) tch. The people survived the storm Katrina, were killed by floods in the broken levees, one of the Army Corps of Engineers not included the need to build stronger or higher, it would not be profitable. It ruled yesterday that the body could be sued over it. Katrina did not hit NOT even with all his might, actually landed in another state. Recently it was discovered that the new dam was built inside the newspaper instead of absorbing material specified. He blamed the men who work in it. One can only wonder why not to blame for not realizing supervisiors, or the CEO not to notice that nobody was using the material I'm sure it was in the store. One wonders.

Excerpt from book: IV MOTIVES OF PREPAREDNESS IT is true that to the unimpassioned observer of the prevalent passion for preparedness, there appear other reasons for the advocacy of adequate armaments than a genuine fear of foreign invasion and a determination to get ready to repel it. Before discussing this last reason, then, let us briefly consider three of the others. These are not so popular, and not so generally accepted,?at least in public; but they undoubtedly exist, and they add considerable weight to the momentum of the campaign. Politics In the first place, there is politics. Such adroit politicians as the Roosevelts and the Hobsons leave us to conjecture, rather than supply us with admissions, as to the close connection between politics and the preaching of preparedness. The Gardners, however, have supplied us with publicly acknowledged,?or boasted,?and most convincing, testimony as to the value of the armaments plank in the platform of the politician ambitious to secure the suffrages of his fellow-citizens. For example, after Representative Gardner, of Massachusetts, had made some speeches in Congress on Preparedness, had offered a resolution for the appointment of a commission of inquiry into our unpreparedness, and had given out newspaper interviews and a carefully prepared statement to thirty-two selected newspapers, his next step, he naively admits, was to go home to be re- elected. I spoke continuously upon this topic,?during his campaign for reelection,?he testifies, and upon very little else in my district. The people were so disgusted with my views of the question that they elected me by over 12,000 plurality,?somewhat in contrast to what happened last year. I have the honor to be the worst defeated man who ever ran for governor in Massachu...
