Jefferson Parish President Aaron Broussard's frustration and anger boiled over on radio. "Red Cross, where are you?" he asked on WWL-Radio. He directed an open appeal to the governor, federal emergency officials and the president to not overlook his parish. At one point, he declared, "I am announcing that Jefferson Parish has seceded from the United States and is now the country of Jeffersonia," going on to say, "Now I know we will receive the aid a foreign country receives."
