First Responders Urged Not to Respond. Dated August 29th.
Paulison said the National Incident Management System is being used during the response to Hurricane Katrina and that self-dispatching volunteer assistance could significantly complicate the response and recovery effort.
Yeah, if people who knew what they were doing just started showing up there, all hell might break loose.
Another list.
It's nice to see this: Katrina Victims Get Seized Knockoff Items.
ehYUP, give these yahoos another couple of weeks and they'll have the sweetest rescue plan you could possibly imagine. Probably they are waiting for some Young Republicans to decide to sign up so they can put some of their own in charge. Can't be too careful with the ideology of a rescue team, you know.
ReplyDeleteThese people LITERALLY make me sick. Bush is not helping in the least bit. I wish he'd quit coming down here because his mere presence delays what little IS being done.
I never would have imagined that Customs responded better than FEMA.
I think they're just waiting for a logo and a slogan - and forms to be filled out in triplicate.
ReplyDeleteThe New Orleans fire chief has found a way around FEMA. He is asking certain departments across the country directly for fire fighters to come down and help relieve the fire fighters who are already on duty. This is a fire department to fire department assistance program. I know several people who left yesterday for this detail.
ReplyDeleteFEMA does not always know what each hand is doing. As fire fighters, we take care of our own. We do not let the government take care of us because they can not take care of what they do not understand.
You'll LOVE this one Katherine.
ReplyDeleteUgh.

Mean to post that last link up here. Also, have you seen the musings in "I Blame the Patriarchy?" Food for thought.
