It would be pushing it, but entire country of Japan can almost fit inside Louisiana.
Using Japan as a model one may conclude that a good state government would have been more imediatly beneficial while a secondary federal government response would augment initial responses. Most of the damage in "Nawlins" was from flooding with a slow onset over a period of a few days vs. total destruction within hours. Which makes the comparison of human responses and interaction even more pathetic. It's not a USA things it's a western thing. We are "entitled" that someone else take care of everything.
