| description | This paper brings about a hypothesis about the non-intervention of the Federal Government after the Hurricane Katrina in Louisiana. The non-intervention is indeed an intervention linked to the new security goals of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). Since its creation in 1979, FEMA’s aims have been both to fight against natural disasters and against political threats. Republican administrations, notably under George Bush Jr, had tended to reinforce the political and security goals of the agency. In August 2005, FEMA was not prepared anymore to face such a disaster. Katrina and its aftermath demonstrate a new vision of the State in Washington D.C. |
