 Louisiana Governor Kathleen Babineaux Blanco commented, "The buses could have evacuated an estimated 20,000 people if they had been used for emergency evacuations which President Bush had declared two days before Katrina hit.", President Bush, if he would have known how unprepared New Orleans really was, could have imposed marshal law and ordered much more complete evacuations; unfortunately he did not. A so called "mandatory" evacuation was ordered by Mayor Nagin Saturday 28 August 2005.
