American Red Cross Report, 9/1/2005 As of Thursday morning, September 1st, the American Red Cross is continuing to absorb the full impact of this event and mobilizing human and material resources in mass to support relief operations. As authorities clear the affected areas and rescue stranded citizens, Red Cross efforts are focused on sheltering and feeding thousands of evacuees. Efforts to evacuate the New Orleans Superdome, moving residents to the Astrodome in Houston, were suspended due to reports of violence and guns fired at emergency crews attempting to help with the evacuation. Relief efforts have further been hampered by massive infrastructure failure as roadways are damaged or blocked, and electricity is expected to remain out for several weeks. In Louisiana, Entergy reports as of 6:30 AM that 643,146 customers remain without electrical service. Mississippi Power reports, after assessing three-fourths of the company's 8,000 miles of transmission and distribution lines, that approximately 70 percent will need to be rebuilt or repaired. They estimate it may be as long as four weeks to restore service in the worst hit areas to all customers who can receive it.
