How did this guy get DIESEL? And how did he get an answer from FEMA???

Diesel Situation
We have permission from the City and from FEMA to truck in diesel. We have the ability to take on 1300-1500 more gallons of diesel fuel. If you or anyone you know is capable of bringing us fuel, we will pay for it. It would be best if the delivery truck could navigate a parking garage, otherwise the unloading will be hours -- no idea how long it could take.

Aid volunteers are being turned back while people die of thirst and this guy asks FEMA if he can have some diesel delivered -- and they say yes? The mayor can't even get a good answer from FEMA - but this guy can just call them?

What in the hell is going on here?
