What do you think?

Hi everyone,
I'm sure most of you have heard about the devastation from the fires Southern California is facing. FEMA has been able to help families that are being displaced by the fires. Most families are staying in hotels or family/friends that are close by. The Qualcomm Stadium is providing food and shelter to other victims. This appears to be much more organized than the Superdome in New Orleans. Also, most of the people being affected by the fire are fluent in English and have their own transportation, whereas in New Orleans it was the poorer sections of the city that had devastation and people were trapped.
Do you think FEMA has learned from Hurricane Katrina so the aid is more organized and can help more people?
Do you think because the fires devastated wealthier people FEMA is helping them out more?
Do you think these two examples are just completely different because one was a hurricane and the other was a fire?

Let me know what you think about these Southern California fires, FEMA's reactions, and other's reactions.
Thanks!
Kelly K.
