Answer 1

Answer:

After Hurricane Katrina, the Bush administration was criticized for responding only after flooding damaged the city.

Explanation:

When Hurricane Katrina made landfall in August 2005 especially in New Orleans, the damage was devastating. The Category 5 tropical cyclone led to the death of more than a thousand people and destruction of property and damages worth billions.

The Bush administration was particularly criticized for its ineffectiveness of preparation and also the delayed response and help it gave. The government's mismanagement and offering of help and services to the affected people in New Orleans was delayed so much. This was apparently due to the order by FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency) that states that no firefighter or ambulance should respond to any calls for help before they are mobilized by the local or state authorities. This hugely impacted the process to offer relief and aid needed in the impacted places. This delayed response also led to the downfall of the then-president George W. Bush.

Thus, the correct answer is the fourth/ last option.
