Talk:Emergency evacuation

Cleaned up the entire page
Changed the tone of the article to be more neutral. Removed instructional/how-to portions. Added more linkages. It's a much better page now. EM student, so quasi-expert. Mcmillen76 (talk) 00:33, 2 March 2009 (UTC)

Poor people in New Orleans
Cut entire subsection:

Lack of transportation
If a person doesn\'t have a car, they generally have no way to evacuate. In New Orleans, the poorest neighborhoods were traditionally at the lowest elevations. This meant that those who were the least likely to have a car, and were therefore unable to leave, were also the least likely to be able to weather the flooding in their homes.

What does "no way to evacuate" and "unable to leave" mean? Were there no trains or buses out of New Orleans? Or were the fares too high? --Uncle Ed 16:56, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

removing "poverty" as a reason for not fleeing town
Explaining that poverty of minorities is the cause of Experience, Traffic and "Limited Social Capital" is not the aim of this article. --Daveblack 01:20, 10 December 2006 (UTC) you guys are noobs —Preceding unsigned comment added by 60.231.91.46 (talk) 10:13, 13 August 2008 (UTC)
