KEEP THE BUSES RUNNING!!!
New Orleans needs to be entirely evacuated of civilians. It is uninhabitable at present. All people departing the city by bus or private car should only carry necessities - no obvious loot like DVD players, jewelry, and so forth. Only one firearm per adult person should be permitted. Those who remain (other than persons trapped in homes and needing rescue) should be treated as outlaws who must either surrender or be shot on sight.
