 NEW ORLEANS (AP) - Determined to avoid a repeat of Hurricane Katrina's aftermath, Mayor Ray Nagin says the city has improved its plans for evacuating residents during the upcoming hurricane season.
Residents would be bused away from the city rather than to shelters like the Superdome, where residents were stuck for days after Katrina hit. Locals also would be more likely to comply with evacuation orders now, Nagin said.
"People are pretty attuned to leaving if I say you have to leave, so I don't see that as being as much of a challenge," Nagin said.
