I agree and some attempts were made, they just didnt know where to drop everything. The FEMA or NG guy didnt even know about the convention center till yesterday..the locals dropped the ball..apparently it was not a designated shelter but broken into and used by the displaced persons..There was no command and control in NO there should have been a checklist from the NOPD as to where people were at to make sure they were supplied. No leadership no initiative..I know if I was a cop my superiors would have known about it and I would have kept checking till they were supplied...supposedly 100 cops did try to get in there last night but were rebuffed by thugs and only made it in this morning with help from the NG...

The chief of police did say they had no food and water and if you scroll down 10 posts from the pic I showed you you can see the food and water..it was an outright lie...

It may have been a lie, maybe an attempt to get more water. These are desperate times for those people - utter mass hysteria, confusion, panic, and chaos. Nobody knows what is going on. I think that once this tragic situation is looked at and examined, they should make it mandatory that there are shortwave radios located at specific places in cities. Communication is vital.
