Emergency response is a vital aspect of this article. The authors highlight the ways in which lack of leadership and reaction to Katrina had devastating results. Initially, emergency response had no idea what it was dealing with. Lack of resources and personnel created great issues. Many people helped neighbors and others instead of waiting for help. Long-term discussion of emergency response is also discussed and critiqued as there were vast issues with that. Inappropriate allocation of funds and the lack of leadership created a mess for both emergency responders and the survivors.

Three points I followed up on to advance my understanding of emergency response was how other countries report and treat rape, rape as a war crime- is it treated or ignored and in what countries, and incidents of sexual violence that get reported and treated, and further care ( how to help others immediately) and how to respond to these events.
