Reply #2: Shelter Of Last Resort [View All]

It was only meant for a place for people to ride out the storm. Mayor Nagin asked people to bring their own food for up to 3 days...as it was assumed there'd be no power for that long...if not water and/or sanitation.

The FEMA fuck up is they were supposed to pre-position food, water, generators, communications equipment and other support items...things that had been used in other emergencies...to flood into the area once the storm had passed.

Trucks could have crossed into the city on Monday morning, but never did...nor Tuesday nor Wednesday.
