My mom follows all this stuff real close, and she explained to me today that Fema isn't what everyone thinks it is, Fema doesn't come in and clean up the mess, Fema is an organizer, they call other organizations and tell them where they are needed.
She also told me that yes Bush declared the state of emergency 2 whole days before hand, AFTER THAT, it was strickly up to the GOVERNOR of La, and the Mayor of New Orleans to follow thru, they did not.
She also told me that some time ago the leader of the city of new orleans I believe it was sent around a procedure that would be put in place when and if a hurricane ever struck, and they didn't follow thru with that procedure.
My understanding is alot of the blame is placed at the feet of the Governor of La and the Mayor of New Orleans.
The Mayor of New Orleans sent the policemen on an ALL expense paid trip to Las Vegas, so they weren't even there. Whats up with that?
Just sharing what I found out today..... Rhonda
