Katrina timeline in spreadsheet form needed.
	Posted by IM2MAD On News/Activism 09/08/2005 10:59:54 PM CDT · 7 replies · 380+ views It occurs to me that we need a Katrina timeline in spreadsheet form to track who said/did what when. As I visualize it, it would have the first column with the date and subsequent column headings of something like White House, Nagin, Blanco, LA Nat Guard, US Nat Guard, FEMA and so on. I think this would be useful in pointing out to everyone what actions were taken when and by whose authority. Perhaps even quote the LA disaster plan at the head of the chart to point it out to anyone who is not aware of it. Unfortunately, I've...

Katrina, a photographic timeline: Powerful proof federal response was NOT slow (warning, many pics)
	Posted by Wolfstar On News/Activism 09/06/2005 10:45:18 PM CDT · 464 replies · 24,340+ views Yahoo News Photos ^ \| 9/6/05 The near total evacuation of the major American port city of New Orleans, Louisiana was accomplished between Tuesday afternoon, August 30 and Friday afternoon, September 2, 2005. This evacuation occurred while other search, rescue, relief and evacuation operations were simultaneously being conducted throughout the Gulf Coast between approximately Lafayette, Louisiana, on the west and the Florida panhandle on the east -– an area of about 90,000 sq. miles, or the size of the entire nation of Great Britain. I'd say this amazing achievement is the opposite of slow. I'd say that it's a stunning accomplishment and one that demonstrates superb...

KATRINA: RESPONSE TIMELINE
	Posted by coffee260 On News/Activism 09/04/2005 3:00:05 PM CDT · 85 replies · 7,408+ views RightWingNuthouse ^ \| September 04, 2005 \| Rick Moran The following is a timeline that details the response of local, state, and federal authorities to the disaster in New Orleans. I have not included any information for other areas hit by the storm. I used one source almost exclusively – the online editions of the New Orleans Times-Picayune (hereinafter referred to as TP). I daresay the paper will receive a Pulitzer Prize for their coverage. IT IS NOT MY INTENTION TO PLAY THE “BLAME GAME” BY PUBLISHING THIS TIMELINE.. In fact, if you have a link to a story that contradicts or adds to this timeline, I urge you...

Let's put together a timeline
	Posted by rhetorica On News/Activism 09/03/2005 10:03:04 AM CDT · 45 replies · 1,097+ views OK folks, let's get this thing under control. We need to build a timeline of (1) events relating to Katrina (e.g. landfall, levee breeches, flooding, etc)(2)events relating to LA, MS and AL and Fed government responses to Katrina (e.g. evacuation orders, activating guard, etc) (3) events as reported by major media outlets (e.g. hurrincane hits and misses, breeches, flooding, evacualtions, looting, etc.) Let's see if we can put a timeline together that chronicles all these events. I am willing to assemble all the information if Freepers will help me locate the evidence. It will be very important that we have...
