The challenge getting folks on the bus three days in advance is an
exercise left to the reader.

Friday morning, Katrina was a cat 1 just south of Naples, Florida some

hurricane watches and warnings so motivating anybody in New Orleans to
evacuate would have been difficult.

100 city buses each carrying 75 people 200 miles inland could
relocate 65,000 people in three days, distributing them so as not to
cause an undue burden on any one geographic are and resources.
