Why People?

As a resident of south Louisiana my family takes into account that we will probabaly have to evacuate a couple times a year due to hurricanes. It truly boggles my mind why people of south LA expect government help with evacuations. If you cannot afford to evacuate for a storm maybe you should look into a new place to live, where NATURAL disasters do not occur. The government does not create hurricanes, so I don't understand why it (the government) should be responsible for people getting out the way of a hurricane.
