From: Michael D Brown Sent: Wednesday, August 31, 2005 12:24 PM Re: New orleans Thanks for update. Anything specific I need to do or tweak? ----Original Message--- From: Marty Bahamonde Sent: Wed Aug 31 12:20:20 2005 Subject: New orleans Sir, I know that you know the situation is past critical. Here are some things you might not know. Hotels are kicking people out, thousands gathering in the streets with no food or water. Hundreds still being rescued from homes. The dying patients at the DMAT tent being medivac. Estimates are many will die within hours. Evacuation in process. Plans developing for dome evacuation but hotel situation adding to problem. We are out of food and running out of water at the dome, plans in works to address the critical need. FEMA staff is OK and holding own. DMAT staff working in deplorable conditions. The sooner we can get the medical patients out, the sooner wecan get them out. Phone connectivity impossible More later
