Not really. Many poor areas in the US, especially the Deep South and Appalachia, simply don't have the resources to move people from old folks home, hospitals, mental facilities, orphanages and so on.Katrina death toll: 1,833
2016 Louisiana flooding death toll: 13
Enough said.
Katrina was the worse natural disaster to hit the US, that's one difference. Note, in the OP I said flooding. Flooding usually does not mean a lot of deaths per se. The death toll in Katrina was caused mostly by those who did not evacuate. Which of course is all local control.
