Interesting... thanks !!

That begs the question "why is everyone beating on the Feds then ?". Obviously a devastated state will require help from Guards corps outside the state, presumably by either asking other states for help or having the federal government request control of the NG from other states.

I still think SOMEONE should have jumped in after it became apparent that the evacuation had missed 100,000 or so people, and that resources from other states or federal government were probably the only ones in a position to do so (assuming the gulf states were overwhelmed, which is a reasonable assumption) but I certainly hadn't realized how much of disaster planning was a city and state responsibility.

Geez, it's nice to be able to blame the Democrats instead
