How did the response compare to that for Katrina? I imagine the
difference between them almost totally depended on the real disaster
occurred when no state tropps were available.

"The slow response of federal aid to storm victims in southern Florida
led Dade County emergency management director Kate Hale to famously
exclaim at a nationally televised news conference, "Where in the hell
is the cavalry on this one? They keep saying we're going to get
supplies. For God's sake, where are they?" Almost immediately,
President George H. W. Bush promised, "Help is on the way," and mobile
kitchens and tents began pouring in.[33]

Insurance claims in the wake of the extreme damage caused by Andrew
led to the bankruptcy and closure of 11 insurance agencies and drained
an excessive amount of equity from 30 more. Nearly one million
residences were no longer eligible for coverage by any insurance
agency. This led the Florida Legislature to create new agencies (the
Joint Underwriting Association, the Florida Windstorm Underwriting
Association and the Florida Hurricane Catastrophe Fund) to restore
adequate insurance coverage."

Which just goes to show how things were run when junior was still in
the drunk tank.

An interesting comparison on the outlook of the state governor at the
time with his replacement:
