They continue to ignore evacuation orders, etc...because they think it is never going to actually hit where they live, or it won't be as bad as predicted if and when it does. Katrina learned a hard, hard lesson. Yes their STATE Govt failed them for a long time but they also failed themselves, they didn't get out when told!!

No more federal aid to anyone who stays behind after being told to leave. Let them pay for the costs of any rescues. Don't spend billions of dollars to rebuild homes if people fail to protect themselves. Etc, etc. No point in these people following the warnings if they know the federal government is there to hold their hands and save them from themselves.
