"Listening to Greta interview workers in the Astrodome. 400 Law Enforcement Officers on the Grounds. Outstanding!"

Saw it - and was impressed w the set-up and organization. NO could have had a command center like this, too. Granted, the electricity was out, but it doesn't appear they had any back-up energy or a PLAN (or would led the Feds in to help them).

err...New Orleans had 400 officers for the entire city! When you figure they are working 12 on 12 off. Sounds like NO was working 18 on, six off to me.

Don't most cities have building safety codes that deal with public places i.e. hospitals, arenas, etc? These codes must have a backup lighting system/generator system. Didn't the SuperDome have one? This has been puzzling me for the last week.

I am familiar with hospitals in this context where we had emergency power (generator)which was able to power our equipment but no AC and if that failed we had very large wall mounted battery powered lamps, which gave enough light to be able see so you d/n trip over stuff.
