The Bush administration is sending in the Marines to "cleanup". That means remove dead bodies, live bodies, looters and the like. They started today with blackhawks and amphibious vehicles are on the way. I suspect that some regular armed forces are gonna be handling some of the real dirty work.
Expect martial law anytime now if they haven't done so yet.
Some hard stuff to deal with:
Collect and ID bodies that died during the storm and after.
ID bodies that were buried and aren't anymore.
Plant or cremate the dead.
Decontaminate the city (Giant bottle of bleach?) to make it safe enough for citizen volunteers, contractors and the rest..
