They need an IC to coordinate them, back them up, make sure they are all supplied.

The goofy governor's latest excuse is that they cannot communicate.

I read somewhere that comm equipment was being donated - something like 3000 units. Anyone have anything on that?

WWL Updates as they come in on Katrina

08:06 AM CDT on Friday, September 2, 2005

8:05 A.M. WASHINGTON (AP) -- President Bush says relief efforts for victims of Hurricane Katrina are not acceptable.

8:03 A.M. - John Ballard, Tangipahoa Parish : Between six and eight dead in Tangipahoa.

8:02 A.M. - (AP) An explosion at a chemical depot jolted residents awake early Friday, illuminating the pre-dawn sky with red and orange flames over a city awash in corpses and under siege from looters. There were no immediate reports of injuries.

Vibrations from the blast along the Mississippi River and a few miles east of the French Quarter were felt all the way downtown. A series of smaller blasts followed and then a cyclone of acrid, black smoke.

To jittery residents of New Orleans, it was yet another fearful sight in a city that has deteriorated rapidly since Katrina slammed ashore Monday morning.

Might be true, last night the Army Corps of Engineers at the levee break had a breakdown in comms. They requested LSP help to forward messages.

There is NO consistent communications ability there. There hasn't been for days. The hurricane took it all out.

I bet some radios are coming out of NIFC.
