Homeland Security Department tells Red Cross to stay out of New Orleans

I can see the logic - but the logic is at least partly based on the assumption that everyone who needs help would be evacuated. And that doesn't seem to be the case, does it?

I spoke to my sister who is a nurse in McComb, MS and she says they are starting to get in New Orleans residents. The Red Cross is in McComb helping them set up shelters at Churches and school and stadiums and are going around and providing meals, water and clothing. I think if the military can get these people out of New Orleans and into shelters in surrounding states the Red Cross will take care of them from there. I've been watching live camera feed from New Orleans and they continue to take bus load after bus load out of New Orleans. I counted 15 buses just now. I think they will get everyone out. They simply cannot stay there in those condiditions. Its a health hazard at this point.
