8-Day Blog Post: Obama to Visit Flood

Today I read a report by Nolan D. McCaskill about Obama's scheduled visit to Baton Rouge, Louisiana to assess the damage of the disastrous flooding. According to Politico, Obama was prompted to cancel part of his vacation because the floods have become almost as dangerous as Hurricane Sandy (McCaskill.) To me, the article, "Obama to visit flood-ravaged Louisiana next week," signified that America should have better procedures to prevent disaster/support to build shelters. Though this probably won't fly within the government, I think it'd be beneficial to have a more detailed disaster plan and it should be better funded so incidents like the flooding of Louisiana could be better contained.
