What do you know about emergency relief and disaster preparedness? I think your expectaions are out of line.
Not what to you speculate or feel, what do you KNOW?
Do you think that FEMA has choppers and loads of trucks stockpiled with food and all kinds of utility workers and firefighters and po-lice?
If America really wants the feds to usurp the power of the local and state governments then they better be prepared to pay an extremely steep price.
Funny thing is that I'm not hearing gipes abou FEMA from Mississipi.
Bottom line is that FEMA is NOT a first response agency
and ANY response before 72 hours is ahead of schedule.
If the people who work crew boats in Morgan City can get water to the hurricane victims in less than 48 hours I would expect the Fed to be as if not more responsive.
Everyone failed the hurricane victims, from the President to the Orleans Parish dog catcher.
