It would be nice if they would let the people who need these services know that. And the FEMA workers at the Astrodome should have been aware of this as well. I see now on CNN they are interviewing Gov Perry of Texas regarding this and he is mentioning other shelters. It does seem that communication is lacking in this whole effort.
Are any shelters offered pet friendly? This has been a new option during Hurricanes here in Florida, and does lead to more people being willing to leave their homes.

One last question. Are they still allowing people to return to their homes on Monday to get valuables and such? Will they be able to return order to the city in time for this to occur?(Let alone drain the water by then?)

Two months to drain the city, after the holes are plugged.

A lot of people left their pets in N.O. I know of one family that did.
