Reply #9: There was no food stored at the Superdome [View All]

[DoYouEverWonder]

because it was only opened has a shelter of last resort Sunday morning and was not intended to be used for a shelter when they did disaster planning because the Red Cross would not certify the Superdome has a safe shelter.

There was a report before the storm hit of one delivery of enough MRE's to feed about 10,000 people for 2 days. From the reports at the time it sounded like the people did receive the food from that shipment.

Also prior to the storm, Nagin told the people over and over that they did not have food at the Superdome and to bring enough to eat and drink for 4 to 5 days.

Once the Superdome was opened, FEMA should have shipped in trucks full of food and water but it appears they only made a feeble attempt.
