UK Government gives £10 million, USA weighs in heavily, the people of the UK gave over £10 million in under 24 hrs and there’s more to come. Now, it’s reported on UK TV this morning that the wonderful Europeon Union donate – £ million Euros! Great response, eh? Shows ‘em up in their true colours, don’t it just? Anyone out there feel as mad as me about it?
Sorry folks: The EU figure quoted above should have read ‘3 million Euros’
Roughly the same kind of "support" they gave us when the Falklands were attacked they ran away and hid,refusing to back us, refusing to even help diplomatically. Then even worse, they sanctioned France to sell the Argies the missiles to fire at our troops……Why OH Why have the British people got such short memories. The EU has never been any bloody good to anyone. Never showed any loyalty of respect to anyone except its self. Its just a huge money gobbling unaccountable criminal organisation. We would all be better to destroy it before it grows too strong and gets out of control.

Failed to assure that relief supplies intended for people in need are not stolen by corrupt politicos or war lords.
The UN is the most corrupt organization in the world.

What’s the thoughtful religious response to the earthquakes, tornadoes, and other natural disasters striking the world?
* If you’re not religious, then you don’t have a response, just an excuse to demonstrate how rude you can be. *
Take Action Today!

disaster management
Mitigation – Lessen or reduce the effects of a disaster
preparedness – Plan, train and exercise
Response – Either pre-disaster or post-disaster
Recovery – Long-term or short-term
To truly "respond" to a disaster you must continually mitigate disasters likely to occur in your jurisdiction.
Develop and maintain plans the detail who will carry out what actions, and train the individuals to carry out those actions and conduct exercises to determine shortfalls in your planning process (whether it be personnel, equipment or other resources).
Actual response activities vary and can be pre-disaster (as in a hurricane) or post-disaster…where the rubber meets the road.
Long-term recovery is rebuilding the community to pre-disaster condition; physical repairs to residential, business, industry and infrastructure. Short-term recovery is immediate efforts to provide life saving and critical infrastructure repairs.

It looked like a miserable failure to me. It was meant to express how Republicans are going to move forward and Bobby Jindal mentions hurricane Katrina. Katrina response was a disaster under Republican president Bush.
Is the party of no now the party of sour grapes?
PLEASE let Bobby Jindal be the Republican pick to run for president!! It will insure Obama gets re-elected!!
Better yet put Palin as VP candidate again.
PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!
I agree with you. It was a horrible response. Referring to Bush’s administration’s response to Katrina was laughable. Six out of his eight years Bush’s party controlled congress and Jindel talked of how his party knows how to fix the things that they broke! Completely insane.

…the US response to Katrina?
Not even close—China much worse–look at the slow response time and the loss of life days after the event itself.
Katrina’s time was slow but theirs was absolutely pathetic
