During Katrina there were 2500 choppers picking people off the roofs within 12 hours and these were federal aircraft that Bush ordered there.

The reason it took 4 days for troops on the ground was because the President doesn't have the authority to deploy fereral troops without the states approval. The
Govenor of Lousianna didn't approve the federal troops until the 4th day !
