First 20,000 people rescued and taken to stadium, then within 24 hours, those people plus another 20K evacuated from NO to shelters in state and out of state because there were no neighborhoods to go back to
Looking at SI and other locations, a lot of people have no homes or neighborhoods to go back to. Has there even been an assessment yet?
Getting an insurance check isn't going to save the lives of people without food and clean water and heat in the next few critical days, and their ability to leave on their own seems further limited by loss of their cars, lack of gasoline and transportation disruptions
Maybe time to open up some of FEMA’s 645 camps, or at least move people to auxiliary regional military bases with facilties to sustain their lives in safety
I don't see anyone from FEMA briefing this
I see obama is campaigning again
Calm down. You are aware that power is back on for most of Staten Island now? This is not The End Of The World As We Know It. This is the way the rest of the world lives, including millions of Americans in Florida and along the Gulf Coast. 95% of Staten Island will be fine in a week. I know people (and am related to some) who have still not recovered from Katrina.
