Radios... should be some radios out there.
Yep, communication has been one of the biggest problems in this mess. The National Guard or military should set something up that can cover the city.
FEMA is bringing in the radios....
I seem to remember during the 9/11 attacks on NY the fire and police had major communication promblems. This is a disaster over a much wider are and a much larger scale. Competent leadership would have realized long ago that satalite communications would be necessary in a major disaster. NO seems totally unprepared and inept to handle this situation. My hopes are that the US military are able to come in and take charge of this situation.
