Summary:
There are many debates about whether the government overreacted or not with evacuating so many people during Irene. Some believe that the government was just making up for their underreactions to a blizzard, where they didn't evacuate enough. However, it is concluded that saving lives was the most important thing. Unfortunately with situations like Katrina, they choose not to use their strong, centralized executive power to save people even though millions of dollars were spend in other places, such as trying to impose democracy on Iraq and Afghanistan. It is still argued whether the government should even have a part in these situations, considering the choices they have been making.
