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.
The St. Bernard Parish Office of Emergency Preparedness (OEP) said that on August 29 that the parish's two shelters at Chalmette High and St. Bernard High were suffering much damage with flooding. He said Chalmette High shelter was losing its roof, and St. Bernard High had many broken windows. There were estimates of 300-plus evacuees at the two sites. "We cannot see the tops of the levees!" exclaimed OEP Director Larry Ingargiola.
