I'm not wasting my time reading the rest of your possibly good post because it's obvious by your first you don't understand the system and how it's designed.
FEMA NOR NOAA plan evacuations, that is the LOCAL and STATES job. FEMA responds; NOAA predicts, both of which they did.
I can dig up the evacuation plan if you'd like, and high light areas that were not done...
