Canadian provinces and Feds offered up their mash units and the military offered up their dart team(disaster assistance response team) and mash units back on Tuesday. The mash units could have been on the ground and running by Wednesday; fema is now saying their mash unit at the airport is overwhelmed. The dart team could have been up and running by yesterday or today. They could have been processing the filthy flood water running in the streets of NO into drinkable water packed in bags for 50,000+ people a day. The response has been thanks for the offer, thats all.
Greece offered up cruise ships too house people that have been left homeless. That hasn't been accepted yet; at least I haven't heard about the ships sailing yet.
