Looks like to me that someone one is dropping the ball on leadership.

I agree, but now is not the time for hand wrining and recrimination. People are wander the 10 Freeway moving based on rumors with no food or water. Looks like a third-world effort so far.

Sadly, I agree with that. Another nightfall coming up....

I'm not there and cdertainly the FEMA, Red Cross folks etc have been through this before, but I don't understand why LEO's ect cant provide some info..."try to get to such and such a point where there's a 'relay'station to get you to the next point." I also don't understand why there arent helicopters dropping some food/water onto the 10 freeway that people are walking on. (I know there would be some crowding etc...but put some armed guards on the chopper and keep it somewhat orderly and as long as there are multiple choppers coming and people knew their turn was coming...) Easy to criticize...I'm not there and I know it takes a couple of days, but it seems that we're far enough out that there should be a little better organization and humitarian support at this point.
