Today was an opportunity for all of us to realize . . . this is a team effort. We cannot do it alone and we are the ones who are going to have to execute the plans. |
Today we are attempting with the federal government's assistance to gain control of all law enforcement agencies that have been provided. |
We have no criminal justice system functioning today. |
We will move very carefully. |
We will reassess how we have done in reopening so far and the status of our water, sewerage, electricity and hospitals. |
We're going to be at this a long time. |
We're going to face a crisis in the very near term. |
We're going to have re-entry for a 'look and leave' into the Ninth Ward starting on Wednesday into those areas where we don't have the large debris fields. |
We're going to remove them. |
We're taking this in a stair-step approach. |
You don't have to be a genius to know when the storm hits, you're going to need water, food, diesel, gasoline, evacuation needs, helicopters, boats, medicine. So why does someone call me up when I don't have any communications and ask me, 'What do I need?' The system needed to go into automatic. |
