• W323894435 abstract "HINDSIGHT ALWAYS SEEMS to have 20-20 vision. Hurricane Katrina showed us just how inadequate planning had been for such a disaster. Fingers started pointing in all directions within hours of the storm passing. Criticism--some of its deserved and some of it unfair--aimed at the Bush Administration, FEMA, local and state governments, weather prognosticators, etc. Actually, all of us should learn lessons from Katrina. They are lessons about how we think and problem-solve, map the world, and relate to our environment. Understanding general semantics could help. Modern Americans tend to take an elemental approach to thinking and problem-solving. We often don't concentrate on an issue until it becomes an event, a crisis. We then deal with the crisis, wipe our hands clean and often move on, until the next crisis hits. Experts warned officials in the New Orleans areas for years that the city was a disaster waiting to happen. Sitting below sea level, with a lake to the north and the Gulf to the south, the Big Easy was indeed an easy target for Katrina, which actually skirted just to the east of the city. The levies were never built to handle a storm the size of Katrina. The Army Corps of Engineers had to make budgetary decisions in this era of low tax revenue, and did what it could to shore up the levies. Besides, a storm the size of Katrina had never hit the city before, so engineers built for the force of the biggest that had hit. Of course, Hurricane 1969 does not equal Hurricane 2005, or the Hurricane that could hit in 2010. The structures could not hold up, and 80% of the city flooded. Many of the poorer residents of New Orleans do not drive. Yet, planning for how to evacuate them was lacking. Only after the disaster did we see poor people being moved by bus, helicopter, and any other vehicle available. Again, in hindsight, officials and planners should have listened to the experts. They should have gradually strengthened the levies, developed better ways of diverting the water, held drills on emergency evacuations, consistently made improvements and adjustments to a real system, and taken other steps to plan for a potential disaster. They didn't, and now face rebuilding a city to the tune of millions of dollars. But, instead of pointing fingers at them, perhaps we should look at our own thinking and problem-solving first. Do you plan for potential crises or elementally just deal with them when occur? Do you blame others when bad things happen and say they should do something about it? Or do you consider yourself part of an inter-related world, and accept your individual responsibility as part of a whole? The latter often can lead to more effective problem-solving and actions. Organisms in an Environment Katrina also raises some questions about how we map our world. …" @default.
