how about, 'when told to evacuate they got out, and there was no looting, rioting, civil disturbance.'

I have no doubt that has a lot to do with it, but all i'm hearing is how fantastic the relief effort is at the stadium in SD, and it is credited to lessons learned from Katrina...Surely some lessons have been learned, but I also think it has a lot to do with it being white people....oh yea, and they aren't rioting/raping/killing eachother inside the stadium.

couple of factors.

While a disaster. the Cali fires are still smaller then the Katrina event.

Also in Cali you had competent leadership on the local level.
Which was the major cause for the breakdown in Katrina.

also had the experience of the fires of a few years ago to learn from so you were better prepaired

Leave town when you get advanced warning a cat 5 hurricane may hit your town.

Have you spent any time in San Diego other than a weekend as a tourist?  The reason I ask is that you seem to have the misconception of San Diego being a wealthy paradise that is completely made up of million dollar neighborhoods.

Oh...and your claim is wrong too.  Though the lessons came at a price, it does seem the city learned from the Cedar fires.

oddly.. the white people did not act like savages and no rioting or looting or raping took place.   you could look to someone for help not as a potential mugger or rapist.

No pickups full of looters...  no scene out of the congo during a civil war.

it may also be relevant to note that the governor and mayors did more than posture and throw their own feces.
