There is one person to blame and that is the Governor of LA. She needed to take quick and decisive action to ask for help quickly and direct rescue operations.
This includes proper planning to ensure that the state government can continue to communicate with the outside world in thee immediate aftermath. We have the technology. This is 2005, not 1905! Where were the sattlite phones? Did they really believe that the cell phones would still work?!!
Ok, Jimbo, all that may explain LA. What about Mississippi? Does the ex-chair of the RNC and Bush's '00 campaign not know who to call for help?
Doh! darn that 'spoils' system!
Jimbo
