afraid of getting shot and killed in new orleans. They can't get in there because the governor fucked up. Helecopters can't land. Trucks can't get in. If fema were to get a truck in there it would, without a doubt, be like somalia. The armed gangs would hijack it. FEMA wasn't created to clean up a state's mess, they were created for disaster relief. The would have been able to help right away if the gov had a plan and there weren't tens of thousands of desperate people starving, dying, trapped in New Orleans.
FEMA will get in there when enough troops are there to provide security. The troops are going at the behest of the gov (a little late) and one of their US Senators (Thats not even his job!). The federal govt is picking up the slack and it takes time. precious time desperate people don't have.
