People have been asking questions about the fires in California and possible government help and I see people answering concerning what happened and is happening with Katrina. Why are people wanting to compare the two when they are totally different disasters and require different responses?

because katrina was considered one of the worst natural diasters in US history that happened very recently, and so they are comparing it with the fires, so it seems less big than it actually is, which make people feel better about it.
i guess they are referring to the severities of the 2. katrina was one of the worse natural disasters that america has had to deal with in a very long time, so it is now used a a basis of comparison.
because they are both disasters and will have to learn from the bad responses from hurrican katrina
