If you have evidence of incompetence from FEMA, call Senator Lott. He seems to be doing a pretty good job of kicking tails and taking names.
No, what I am specifically talking about are public people, like Steve Forbes, who doesn't know one thing about what's going on, who got on television immediately after the hurricane and started in with the "Bush was slow to respond" canard. He was responding to the television hype on the mess at the Superdome and Convention Center in New Orleans, and by now everyone knows that food and supplies were kept OUT of New Orleans by the governor, who wanted the people to leave town.
I make no apologies for FEMA if they are still screwing things up. That needs to be fixed; I would again suggest you contact either Haley Barbour or Trent Lott.
Not sure if it's a FEMA thing, but KHOU ran a report yesterday about slow action from the the Feds until Senators Hutchison and Cirnyn got involved - then flights were provided to medivac 100+ patients that had been collected at an airport in TX. The Senators know how to full Fed strings, where state officials don't have any power to discipline slow responders.
Long story short, orders have to come through the right chain of command in order to be carried out; and disaster relief creates a mighty complex chain of command where state officials lack the direct order/discipline levers.
