1. this may be more needed???

This morning, we've launched an emergency national housing drive to connect your empty beds with hurricane victims who desperately need a place to wait out the storm. You can post your offer of housing (a spare room, extra bed, even a decent couch) and search for available housing online at:

http://www.hurricanehousing.org

Housing is most urgently needed within reasonable driving distance (about 300 miles) of the affected areas in the Southeast, especially New Orleans

2. This is so part of the problem

I noticed last night that newsmen that were right there couldn't help people either, had to leave them, said they couldn't help. I'm guessing since a lawyer is now in charge of FEMA they are more interested in their legal position rather than ACTUALLY HELPING....
