The aftermath of Katrina in 2005 and the Southern Dusting of Snow in 2014 has given the rest of the country the impression that the South is not a region where people plan ahead adequately.

What planning has NYC done for Hurricane, tsunami or an Earthquake disaster ?
a small eartherquake by California standards would decimate NYC. None of the buildings are built to earthquake code.
a 5 would cause tremendous havoc. Bridges and tunnels would collapse, subways destroyed, glass all over the streets. An utter disaster.
The northeast... We have weather related issues all the time.... Not to mention constant terror threats that our police are well trained for. That training can be applied in most situations.

And Sandy was a small Hurricane that you would think caused Katrina type destruction.
Those small storms hit the south yearly.
Look at the destruction Florida has to rebuild every 10 years or so.
No region is better prepared or more prepared. Each state deals with the likelyhood of the type of disaster[s] most likely to occur in that region.
