   • The government allowed federal and state troops to be quartered in private residences to assist residents and protect order.
   • Citizens were denied the right to bring legally owned firearms to storm shelters.

   • Prisoners were kept in prisons that lacked power, supplies, and plumbing during the emergency.
   • The federal and state courts postponed scheduled criminal and civil trials due to the emergency.
   • The government prevented the press from publishing graphic photos of victims of the natural disaster to protect the privacy of the victim’s family.

   • arguments that could be made for or against the action that took place
   • your position on the situation and the reasons you think officials should agree with you
