PR In Case of An Emergency

As a July 24, 2005 article in the New Orleans Times Picayune (not online but extensively quoted here) put it: ‘City, state and federal emergency officials are preparing to give the poorest of New Orleans’ poor a historically blunt message: In the event of a major hurricane, you’re on your own’. Mayor Nagin himself appeared on the DVD, telling people that they wouldn’t be evacuated, or any support provided. The city had the resources to put together a digital package to tell the poor that there were no resources for them.
