I have been following the local coverage (TV Stream) of the disaster in New Orleans, and things in the Big Easy are getting real ugly.
The local government officials are starting to ask questions , and point fingers. They want to know where the food, water and other aid is. FEMA is already being blasted, and it is clear that communications are, 48+ hours after the hurricane, and 72+ hours after the declaration, still hopeless.
They need far more troops, many more boats, planes, helicopters etc. Now that a total evacuation is being called for, and the necessity to relocate half a million people is being faced, the existing shortfall in major disaster planning is now clear.
This will be a case study for years.
