We have only seen that because JMS chose to address it. Anything we know about the Katrina aftermath in the Marvel Universe derives from that one issue. That one issue written as part of a run for which, as we know from his later sulk, JMS had negotiated extensive creative autonomy, and for which he can therefore be held responsible.
Given his autonomy, he may even have insisted that he wanted exclusive dibs on Katrina. Certainly, he was the only writer who seemed keen to address it. As such, his issue, and its failure to cohere at all with anything else we know from other comics about the state of Marvel's USA at that point, is something for which he alone can be blamed. (Apart from anything else, given his subsequent hissy fit with editorial and normal willingness to air such dirty laundry in public, do you really think he'd have kept quiet about being forced into that? Certainly he defended the Ground Zero issue when that was met with general and justified WTF)
