It is on the DHS web site. All of your questions are plainly addressed. Their are circumstances in which the Feds can take a 'proactive' approach to responding i.e. doing it on their own. Based on the criteria in the document, there can hardly be any doubt that this qualifies. And the document specifically includes natural disasters within its scope.
That's Jefferson Parish, which had announced this plan to allow people back to reclaim valuables some time ago..
Jefferson Parish isn't NO, proper, and while it was devastated, it's not as bad as NO.
So only Jefferson Parrish residents are being allowed in and there is a system in place to keep residents out of NO proper?
That's what I understand.
I was under the impression they won't be allowed to stay.
Peach - Hopefullly by the time others can get in, there'll be a plan to allow them to extract items also (I won't hold my breath).
"I was under the impression they won't be allowed to stay."
As I understand it, the plan is to allow people in, get their things, and then get out for at least three months.
Also, the Plan is to allow nobody in without ID and proof of address, I hear.
That's right, I forgot about the ID part. I'm sure that's a good thing.
Listening to General Honore on Fox.
Gotta feel sorry for the guy having to try to say things in simple enough terms for Juliett and Julian to understand.
Unfortunately, they're still not getting it.
"Unfortunately, they're still not getting it"
Media attitude -- "We're gonna whine and carp and second guess, and there ain't a d*mn thing you can say to stop us."

Protocols for proactive Federal response are most likely to be implemented for catastrophic events involving chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, or high-yield explosive weapons of mass destruction, or large magnitude earthquakes or other natural or technological disasters in or near heavily populated areas.
Guiding principles for proactive Federal response include the following:
- The primary mission is to save lives; protect critical infrastructure, property, and the environment; contain the event; and preserve national security.
- Standard procedures regarding requests for assistance may be expedited or, under extreme circumstances, suspended in the immediate aftermath of an event of catastrophic magnitude.
- Identified Federal response resources will deploy and begin necessary operations as required to commence life-safety activities.
- Notification and full coordination with States will occur, but the coordination process must not delay or impede the rapid deployment and use of critical resources. States are urged to notify and coordinate with local governments regarding a proactive Federal response.
- State and local governments are encouraged to conduct collaborative planning with the Federal Government as a part of "steady-state" preparedness for catastrophic incidents.

What was the deal with that friend of his who drove INTO New Orleans and rescued 7 people? That sounded like BS to me.
The longer this crisis continues the more my language is deteriorating.

I know what ya mean, Miss, -- there was some talk about "cuss jars" a couple of days ago, and it occurred to me that mine would be the size of a swimming pool. :)
As to that fool who stole and forged press credentials, I hope that somebody in Law Enforcement was listening -- that's something that SHOULD be punished. IMO

I thought he did very well in explaining the basics, as he did yesterday.
One of my previous employers trained me in writing skills (even had me write some of his memos). He said when trying to communicate to large groups of people, you need to express as if talking to 5th graders, so the main body of the audience gets the message clearly.
You are so right, still so many still don't get it.
"You are so right, still so many still don't get it."
The only dim bit of humor I find in it is that most of those Newsies ain't bright enough to see that they're being talked-down to.
Amen to that - lol
"Everytime someone tries to say something good is happening, he steps in with, "but..."."
Well, what do you expect from a "but-head"
(Sorry -- just couldn't resist that one) ;)
He generally seems to be the dim side for "balance"...
He is the single most annoying person on Fox. I can stand even Geraldo in small doses, but Julian sets my teeth on edge after about 30 seconds.
I was thinking more along the lines of Laura Ingraham's "But Monkey" segment. (and for the uninitiated and before PC takes over, this has nothing to do with race).
