Lesson Learned

It seemed to me from the response that the tornado ravaged town of Dumas, Arkansas is getting that someone has learned a lesson from the debocle that was Hurricane Katrina. There was rapid response, good follow-up aid, etc. Given that this wasn't as big a tragedy, but it seems that no state or local government wants the reputation of FEMA. There have been so many drives supporting food, shelter, clothing, vaccinations and the like and this impresses me to the point that where I trust local government to help me in a crisis more that the federal government. At least someone out there is working on earning the public's trust back with regard to emergency management response and control.
