Reply #12: Certainly civil order is a priority, however, people will die

[JaneGat]

because there are not enough forces for everything that needs to be done. And because there has been unsatisfactory emergency response to feed and get water to the homeless and injured, they are taking it upon themselves to get what they need. As terrible a situation as this is, I find it unacceptable that there are so few emergency teams they are forced to choose between search and rescue and civil order- that it has to be one or the other is horrific to me.

My cousin is missing in NO, and I'm very concerned that by the time they are able to concentrate on the injured and stranded, it may be too late.
