Yes. Local authorities failed worse than federals.

This does not absolve Chertoff.

What are the Federal govt. administrators supposed to do when they are not given access to the area? If they are not told where to bring the supplies they have, what are they to do? The whole thing was confusing the first two days after the storm, except for the Coast Guard who never delayed in their wonderful work of rescue. By Wednesday, the second day after the storm, the people in the Superdome were being evacuated , and the people on the I-610 bridge were receiving food and water. I remember this because there was a woman who received an MRE and complained because it was cold!

So all this media blah blah about the government waiting 5 days to do anything is bogus!!
