FEMA's 'coordination' many areas without power do not have generators. Without generators you can't get the water and sewage going. Without the water and sewage people can't come back. The people in these towns are the ones that work at the plants and rigs.
Without 'coordination' of manpower and equipment in the removal of debris from dock slips and regional airports, you have no way to get supplies and fly crew out to rigs. Oh, did I mention that the refineries need electricity and staff to process crude.....
Once again, the Mayor of Houston is doing more than FEMA. Seems he is getting calls from these smaller town mayors asking for supplies and his office is scrounging for them. Instead of a generator for one town----they sent a 4 stall shower set up. Well if they every get a generator, that stall might be handy.
When you are freezing your ass off in winter cause there is no heating oil, don't blame us. We wanted to get back to work and return to out normal lives.
Oh, and another thing you might want to consider when you pay that higher price in the grocery store.....NOLA was a major shipping port for food and crops.....
