Big Brass Blog

Big Brass Blog has a list of help that FEMA delayed or diverted -- along with links to news reports about each. Their list includes:
  • A tax-funded, state-of-the-art medical team
  • USS Bataan
  • Wal-mart trucks full of ice and water
  • Water tankers from the US Forest Service
  • A specially trained and self-sufficient relief team from Chicago
  • A team of specially trained rescue workers from British Columbia, Canada
  • The American Red Cross
  • Amtrak's offer of trains to help evacuate victims
  • Morticians
  • Electric generators
  • First responders urged not to respond
An impressive list, if it wasn't so tragic.

Perhaps after this disaster, FEMA could be charged with stopping illegal immigration. From this list, it doesn't look like they let much through.
