If only Noah's Wish helped people...

I was looking at the animal relief sites on the web and on the Noah's Ark page, found information that wow, if only the organizations trying to help people knew this in advance! Maybe they'd have been better prepared to handle the disaster.

Here are a few excerpts:
Aug 27: Noah's Wish is on alert at this time in anticipation of having to respond to Hurricane Katrina.
Update: August 28, 2005 - 11:00 a.m. West Coast Time --Noah's Wish is on full mobilization for Hurricane Katrina.
Update: August 29, 2005 - 11:00 a.m. West Coast Time--Noah's Wish has been extremely busy today responding to a variety of phone calls and e-mails, in addition to gearing up to send our initial team to Louisiana.

And it continues, showing how they were trying to be prepared for the worst and to help animals from the very beginning.

I was also looking for info on the Katrina timeline to see how other groups did and found the following not so comforting item from August 29th. There were also some other lovely items such as Rumsfeld at a baseball game as reported by the Editor and Publisher

This post wasn't intended to be an attack on those who should be protecting (or at least caring about) the people and such, but it does make me wonder why overall, no one seemed as prepared as an organization that helps animals in disasaters. They knew what was coming.
