St. Bernard Parish was home to 68,000 people but was virtually forgotten by U.S. officials who were concentrating their search and rescue efforts on New Orleans which is only a few kilometers away.

The one thing you can count on most is that the politicians will send help where the cameras are first.

I want to see their disaster plan. I did hear that Chalmette HS was flooded up to the second floor, and they had hundreds there.....and the other spot was the Chalmette boat slip, with 1500 people there.
