Well, Homeland Security/FEMA screwed up AGAIN! Big time! O.K., so between
cities, counties, states and somewhat HLS/FEMA, the evacuations went
relatively smoothly. And parts of Houstan already have their power back.
HOWEVER, what they won't tell you is that HLS/FEMA forgot a couple of VERY
important items when they brought in first responders. Would ya believe???
FOOD & WATER!!!! They sent out calls over the local radio stations asking
residents of the city to provide food and water for the first responders!
And did I mention that they kinda didn't figure it out until late in the
afternoon? By then the first responders had been on the ground and working
since 6 a.m. with no food or water!
AND, they neglected to bring the appropriate comm center equipment, so they
took over the local phone system and no one could call in or out because
HLS/FEMA was using it.
~~sigh~~ It is soooo good to know that they learned soooooo much from NOLA
and Rita!
