not sure of your answer. but keep in mind, when it rains there it floods without the levee breaks. the pumps they use in certain areas are outdated and inadequate. debris (trees, foreign objects) blocking the culverts add to the flooding and overwhelm the pumps causing them to lose pressure.
It has been reported that with the heavy rain pouring in the City the pumps begun to fail in certain area prior to the levees being breached.

Okay, so even before the levee break, it might have been impossible to bring in supplies with land vehicles because the pumps were inoperable.
Would the governor or a federal official ask adjoining state governors to provide additional helicopters?
