How many countries assisted, or offered assistance to the U.S. after Hurricane Katrina?

Question

Any type of assistance is counted, whether it be medical, financial, or infrastructure aid.

Answer 1

Several countries offered aid. Mexico sent the most help, and bush refused it. We must assume he did not want their contribution to call even more attention to the mismanagement and outright theft that went on.

Answer 2

Mexico sent some things for infrastructural repair and other things offered were turned down by President Bush. Great Britain sent medical, etc. supplies. As hated as President Bush has made us around the World, I didn't really expect much help from other countries. He's not much of a diplomat.

Answer 3

The count wasn't high. Ale_beer is wrong, none offered that way none were chosen. As for Gaspode, where are your figures. The Mexicans sent the water filtration plants (mobile) that we gave them as surplus, they did make an off to lower the oil rate by the barrel.

England sent medical supplies and aide: Of all the countries we've helped through natural disasters or other problems, we have yet to count the ones that have helped us on one hand. Let's see what happens after the fires.
I think one day, we should reciprocate

"nuff said" has a lot to say, twelve feet below sea level, can I ask where you went to school? the levees are three inches below level (3 inches) global warming brought them up to six inches over, not the twelve feet as exagerated by 'nuff said.

And, by the way, when will you be cannonized?

Answer 4

Canada. I personally know of people who went down to help restore, rebuild and sent money. Some church groups sent teenagers down there who cleaned up and worked very hard during their holidays. May not seem like a lot but the people were very appreciative and the kids realized what a good life they have back home. This is just one example and I know that there were many, many more similar stories.

Answer 5

none, and the mismanagement started with the City Of New Orleans not beefing up the levees for years. Funny how that's everyone Else's problem to pay for their safety. The mayor of New Orleans is next for not having an evacuation plan in place and not having a mandatory evacuation for three days leading up to the event. Next layer of blame goes to the Governor Of Louisiana, for "refusing" any outside help and not having a clue as to handle the disaster. It is not the Federal Governments(the tax payer) place to come to the rescue every time a disaster happens. If you gonna live in a city 12 feet below sea level, you deserve to drown. Oh the last blame for all the murders and rapes, thefts, the police illegally disarming their citizens and leaving them to fend for themselves against roving gangs and rapists.

Answer 6

Whilst we offered financial assistance, the US declined.

They are rich enough to I suppose. :)

Answer 7

same amount of countries the U.S. offered to get rid of their bad, evil, nasty, ugly and corrupted governments

and that's a lot .....
