 | Governor Blanco is currently grappling with the massive damages to the State of Louisiana in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. |
| On September 1, 2005, Governor Blanco authorized National Guard troops to "shoot and kill" rioters and looters, [8] which followed President Bush's statement that looters in New Orleans and elsewhere in the chaotic aftermath of Hurricane Katrina should be treated with "zero tolerance" [9]. |
| Governor Blanco was also criticized for allegedly having only a minor subset of her available National Guard troops standing by on ready, and for not being able to provide relief supplies and standby medical or other first responder personnel to New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin for the victims of the hurricane. |
