Thanks for that info, bb.
I add that to Ayhan Aytes' concern and the fed gov responsibility: The
"faith based initiative" move of the last half dozen years have become the
normal. The call for volunteers by the Alabama state government directed
people to a government sponsored site to sign up under faith based
initiative groups. Maybe an indictment for malfeasance or criminal
negligence will show that "privatization" into "faith based initiatives"
added layers and mazes to the government response, making a second assault
on people in duress.
Along those lines, A CBS reporter, asked by the anchor why Bush's trip to
the gulf did not include a landing in the major disaster points in New
Orleans, says, "They'll tell us its security but you never know what it
really is." Right on network TV, a staid reporter speaking from DC said it
out loud.

Not to distract from immediate responses to Katrina, but to indicate the
need to think and act over multiple timescales, through multiple avenues,
here's acouple of links, indicating that (1) these kinds of storms were not
only predicted, but are expected to continue, and that (2) the white house
won't do anything about the underlaying cause.
