Nope not handing out anything... take a large piece of land away from NO.. use the knowledge gained from the Homestead Florida tent city... get the Army to move those people out of NO ASAP.. into the tent city.. so how to begin...what happened to the University Studies.. the City's emergency plans.. work plans etc... they have been aware of such an event for decades....

Stay off the television.. we have had enough of the Political/quasi leadership bunch telling us how bad it is .. unless they have a specific action to talk about.. keep their energy focused on actions.. they should be:

Calling an immediate meeting of all heads of services with the agenda designed to have a strategy and individual missions defined.. this should be done now.. tonight.. tomorrow morning at 7 AM..no one leaves the meeting until everyone know just what they are going to do and when..

Then just do it... let everyone know what is happening.. not with hours of TV debate.. but with swift action...

Engage the Military forces.. this is like a war campaign.. except it is against a disaster... use the same energy and valor.. how do the Military get through deep water??? How did they build "instant" bridges in World War II..

This is the Hurricane Season.. as a long time Florida resident, I can tell you that other storms will come... we can either sit and discuss it.. or darn the torpedoes and full speed ahead... probably not a position that politicians would like to take...

Again.. let's not reinvent a plan. let's call in some Miami experts to help.. who is the national expert on hurricane disaster recovery.. don't tell me the Red Cross.. I am talking serious work here...

OK.. off my soap box.. now chew me up.. I am OK with it.. just very concerned about all of the folks in the Big Easy..

Cheers!

Later, perhaps N.O. needs the Dutch and their technology.
