How to ensure that the disaster in New Orleans never happens again.

How to prevent the disaster in New Orleans from ever happening again:
1. Move everyone out of the city and away from the coast.
2. Level the city.
3. Fill in the hole.

I’m debating adding a step 4 which would involve concertina wire and land mines. Which may be the only way to keep people from sneaking in and building again.

Maybe the above is extreme, but I am willing to entertain another idea….

What if FEMA and FIMA were reimbursed by each state, for whatever assistance they provide within the state? If they don’t like the service each state is allowed to build their emergency services, or hire someone else to provide the service.

I wonder if the people planning to live in the New Orleans area would think it’s worth the cost to rebuild a city in a bowl by the sea if they had to foot the bill using only their own tax dollars?
