New Orleans evac. question

[SixFive]

What happens to those people who are in nursing homes? How about those who work in hospitals and patients that are too sick to move? I wouldn't have a clue where you would evacuate a nursing home to since most everywhere are full, and I'm sure somebody has to be staffed at the local hospitals don't they? Being in healthcare, these questions always pop in my mind. :shrug:

I'm sure the looting is hot and heavy as we speak.
Nothing worse than a gall damn thief. Nothing.

That FEMA director Paulison just addressed that exact thing. He said after Katrina that Nursing Homes were ordered to make an evacuation plan for future disasters.

He said they did not do so and asked the feds to figure something out at the last minute. The feds did and they are airlifting slowly but surely, 1300 bedridden patients to various places.

Even 3 years after Katrina and nursing home patients drowning in their beds, these f*cking nursing homes couldn't be bothered to follow directions and have a plan ready.

Pathetic and criminal.

IT THE STATE JOB AND LOCAL GOVERMENT JOB
TO TAKE CARE OF THIS MATTER!

Actually, it's the Army Corp of Engineers job. Last time I checked, that was federal.

In fairness though, right after Katrina, they said it wouldn't be until 2011 until the job was totally done.

People smarter than me about that stuff can debate about whether that should have been too long, but they did say it back then.

Doesn't make a shit if it's local, state, or federal,
bottom line is our elected officials have no problem
sending hundreds of billions of dollars to every
Tom, Dick, and Harry country that hates our guts,
but taking care of American's is BACK BURNER.

Come on, man.


I mean, it's not like anyone could predict another hurricane would ever blow up the Gulf, and hit the Southern coast again..............and agian............and again.

Just saw where the children?s hospital has 90 children in such critical states that it can not move them and have decided to ride it out with doctors and nurses who volunteered to stay.

BTW you can call out anyone you want for the lack of flood control and the amount of money spent. The fact of the matter is that when you have a city below sea level all the money in the world will never stop Mother Nature if she wants to flood it.

BTW x2 I missed all the bitching when the Iowa cities were being flooded. Course I also didn?t hear their people blaming their government. Seems they understand if you live by a river it is going to flood from time to time. Novel idea huh:shrug:

 

[DOGS THAT BARK]

A small factor might be building city below sea level right smack dab in hurricane ally --ya think.

Hint: when hurricane approaches the gulf--what city is always in headlines--why?????????????

I'm pretty sure that New Orleans was *never* in the 'headlines' before Katrina when a 'hurricane approached the gulf.' That really was the problem in 2005. Nobody there took it seriously because it had been 40 years. The last hurricane that even glanced that city before Katrina was in 1965.

 

[dunclock]

I am sure they were thinking about that when they started building the city in the early 1700's:shrug:

Yeah, exactly.

So DTB, UGA, etc....what do you guys propose we should do, just bury the city?

That was the sentiment from those types in 2005. I doubt it's changed much.
