Unfortunately, there are many reports that Fema actively hampered both local officials and individuals in their efforts to deal with the aftermath. Not letting food and water in, cutting secure communication lines, telling the Navy to refuse to offload diesel fuel, gun confiscation from individuals trying to protect people and property, not allowing the Red Cross in...
So I guess I'm trying to say is that don't be in a hurry to get the gov't's help. It's not what you always want. If the people in New O weren't so sociallly dependent they could have helped themselves more, if given a chance. We are seeing the poor effectiveness of gov't again with Rita.
