I thought New Orleans was excluded from the emergency declaration in question because that particular declaration was to declare an emergency in counties set up to receive NO evacuees? There were other declarations in place for the areas expected to be hit by the hurricane. This one was for the areas affected by the problems in setting up for and sheltering evacuees. Am I wrong or does Brown not realize this?

"Am I wrong or does Brown not realize this?"

I think you hit on something. It appears Brown was not informed.
