I can only imagine if it would have been an unexpected terrorist attack ... Confusion would have been king ( now, it was just queen ):

Quote:

Washington, D.C. (AHN) - A report on Fox News from correspondent Major Garrett Wednesday night reveals a major break into what exactly went wrong at the Louisiana Superdome in the days after Hurricane Katrina struck the city.

An American Red Cross representative tells Fox News that the Louisiana State Homeland Security Department refused the relief organization permission to take food and water to the Superdome because they did not want to "encourage people to go there."

Now, for foreign trash as I , it is confusing ...

I read " LOUISIANA State Homeland ... " ... How many of these homeland are they? and who the fuck controls them ?
State ones ? plus Feds one ?

Your search - "Louisiana State Homeland Security Department" - did not match any documents.

Hurricane Katrina: Why is the Red Cross not in New Orleans?

Acess to New Orleans is controlled by the National Guard and local authorities and while we are in constant contact with them, we simply cannot enter New Orleans against their orders.

The state Homeland Security Department had requested--and continues to request--that the American Red Cross not come back into New Orleans following the hurricane. Our presence would keep people from evacuating and encourage others to come into the city.

The Red Cross has been meeting the needs of thousands of New Orleans residents in some 90 shelters throughout the state of Louisiana and elsewhere since before landfall. All told, the Red Cross is today operating 149 shelters for almost 93,000 residents.

The Red Cross shares the nation?s anguish over the worsening situation inside the city. We will continue to work under the direction of the military, state and local authorities and to focus all our efforts on our lifesaving mission of feeding and sheltering.

The Red Cross does not conduct search and rescue operations. We are an organization of civilian volunteers and cannot get relief aid into any location until the local authorities say it is safe and provide us with security and access.

The original plan was to evacuate all the residents of New Orleans to safe places outside the city. With the hurricane bearing down, the city government decided to open a shelter of last resort in the Superdome downtown. We applaud this decision and believe it saved a significant number of lives.

The USA is 50 states that are like different countries !

They have their own Homeland Defense as well as their own
welfare systems etc..

Each state has their own laws, military and Gov't and as long as
their laws don't go against the uS Constitution they operate on their own.

Eash State has the responsibility to evacuate their citizens during disasters not the
federal Gov't !
