    Like many other hospitals, Memorial waited for help to come from the National Guard and the Federal Emergency Management Administration (FEMA). FEMA is expected to provide guidance in natural and man-made disasters, furthermore, they are not meant to take over situations (Shoup, 2005). In advance of the disaster the then Louisiana Governor Kathleen Blanco wrote to President Bush requesting a disaster declaration to allow federal assistance. The emergency responses were delayed by bureaucratic process, poor communication and lack of coordination of resources. Additionally, millions of federal dollars were devoted to responding to terrorist attacks and not on natural disasters (Shoup, 2005). FEMA received substantial criticism for the poor management post Katrina. In 2006, the Pets Evacuation and Transportation Standards Act (PETS) was enacted to include family pets and service animals to be evacuated with residents facing disaster (AVMA, n.d.).…
