And I'm sure you never had a typo. Perhaps you can store that in your
little pea brain and use it in every argument you make. Along with that
damn mayor bs.

I usually stay the hell out of this stuff (it *IS* an audio newsgroup
after all... there are other forums for these discussions that are much
more appropriate), but I saw David's name and figgered there would be
something worth reading so here I am.

Vancouver sent its Disaster Response Team. They specialize in rescue
and stabilization in preparation for recovery. Their offer of help
wasn't accepted until Thursday. How many days in was that?

They've now been sent home. I guess there isn't much point in having a
rescue team there this long after the incident.

Our station sent a camera and reporter to cover the Team's activities,
but they couldn't. There are FEMA checkpoints on all the passable
routes, and our guys got turned back at all of them, ostensibly in the
interest of protecting their safety. Our team's protestations that they
were more interested in getting the story than they were in their own
safety fell on deaf ears.

Either the authorities are really dedicated to protecting people, or
they really don't want TV cameras in there.

Sure Arny... You're running overtime in defense of an indefensible act
of negligence in responding to a catastrophy here.

German and Italian TV both reported on the quick set-up in remote areas
for the Bush photo ops... and how quickly the set-up was torn down after
the CIC left the area.

Let's do something else for a couple of days, Arny. I promise
not to come back to these threads until Friday at the earliest.

Can you do the same thing ????

Have a nice week.

If nobody trolls me.

Thank you. However, it looks like our lives will have a big
cloud over them for quite some time. Let's not let it be
about us.

You are feeding them. People are angry. None of the governmental
bodies will or should go without reprimand and investigation.

Please give these threads a break for a few days. I will see you on
Friday. Can you ignore the trolls that long? I can.

Peace

"FEMA Chief Sent Help Only When Storm Ended"

Associated Press

The government's disaster chief waited until hours after Hurricane
Katrina had already struck the Gulf Coast before asking his boss to
dispatch 1,000 Homeland Security workers to support rescuers in the
region - and gave them two days to arrive, according to internal
documents.

Michael Brown, director of the Federal Emergency Management Agency,
sought the approval from Homeland Security Secretary Mike Chertoff
roughly five hours after Katrina made landfall on Aug. 29. Brown said
that among duties of these employees was to "convey a positive image"
about the government's response for victims.

Before then, FEMA had positioned smaller rescue and communications
teams across the Gulf Coast. But officials acknowledged Tuesday the
first department-wide appeal for help came only as the storm raged.

(snip)

Meanwhile, the airline industry said the government's request for help
evacuating storm victims didn't come until late Thursday afternoon. The
president of the Air Transport Association, James May, said the
Homeland Security Department called then to ask if the group could
participate in an airlift for refugees.
