A lesson in risk management?

It may be rather an extreme example, but the loss of crucial documents by the Justice Center in New Orleans due to Hurricane Katrina shows the importance of thinking wide (even ''outside the box') when creating or updating a risk management policy. They may have not been able to do anything in practice due to lack of resources, or perhaps they could have come up with a way of protecting key material? Or maybe it was just down to a lack of urgency on such issues.
