Historically, humans get serious about avoiding disasters only after one has just struck them.【C1】______that logic, 2006 should have been a breakthrough year for rational behavior. With the memory of 9/11 still【C2】______in their minds, Americans watched hurricane Katrina, the most expensive disaster in U. S. history, on【C3】______TV.

However, state officials have not yet determined where these people will be taken. The【C20】______with neighboring communities are ongoing and difficult. [br] 【C5】
