KATRINA TIME LINE
August 28,
2005, Mayor Ray Nagin ordered a mandatory
evacuation of New Orleans. Hurricane
Katrina
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Nagin's
performance in the Hurricane Katrina crisis has been criticized as well
in his role as leader of the first responders and Nagin has been
accused of deflection or letting his own people die in New Orleans for
no reason. (see Homeland Security Director Michael Chertoff's press
conference, 3 September 2005). Nagin was criticized for not calling a
mandatory evacuation until Sunday morning, with his reason for not
doing so sooner being that he had to consult with city attorneys to see
if he had the legal authority to do so on Saturday. As mayor, Nagin was
also responsible for establishing evacuation centers and keeping local
order. Yet apparantly there were no meals ready to eat (MRE's) stored
at his designated evacuation center - the Superdome.
There was no water purification equipment on site, no chemical toilets,
anti-biotics or anti-diarrheals stored for a crisis. The mayor had not
designated any medical staff to work the evacuation center. Nagin
himself admitted "The convention center is unsanitary and unsafe, and
we are running out of supplies for the 15,000 to 20,000 people."[1] The
city had not established a secure sick bay within the Superdome. The
city had not sent police or other vehicles through the poorest
neighborhoods with evacuation announcements prior to the storm. There
were no functioning backup emergency communications police or
fire-rescue radios available. Additionally, the city stored the school
buses on low ground where they were flooded and then not available for
evacuation. [2].
City-Journal summarized their criticism this way, "Mayor Ray Nagin and
Governor Kathleen Blanco lost whatever fragile authority they ever had
over New Orleans early Monday, as the waters still rose."[3]

Military Base Closing Plan Could Work.
A very young friend of JBT has
suggested "instead of closing the
military bases, like Elington Field why don't we use them as detention
centers for the illegal emigrants? The idea would:
(1)keep
the local economies going, if not increase jobs (2) get illegals off the street until they can
be
either tried and sentenced for crimes, deported or
granted some sort of status instead of relying on illegals to
report themselves. (3)
discourage more emigrants from coming over the border illegally." |
