Bump for updates!
Some tidbits from NBC news about possible missteps in relief efforts:
Cynthia Swain (some LA official) told port patrol in LA to leave their posts and seek higher ground beforethe storm. They could have been deployed for rescue if they had stayed in port.
Georgia medical disater team, which came to help hurricane victims, is being sent by FEMA on a wild goose chase around the states surrounding LA, but not to LA. All they've been able to do so far is treat a minor cut.
German satellite services team that came to help out has been trying to contact FEMA, but their phone calls have gotten no response from FEMA.
Hundreds of trailers that could be used for temporary housing for hurricane victims are still sitting in Georgia.
Interesting.
The newsflash that came out of Morris is there is a Whitewater history between Hillary and Chertoff so Hillarys carping yesterday was personal, not hurricane.
Been looking for this thread! Was having withdrawals! Thanks for starting it Abigail.
