  NEWS FROM NEW ORLEANS PARISHES

By MICHELLE KRUPA


The process, however, has been hampered by a lack of communication in 
storm-ravaged areas. Cell service is spotty, Parish President Aaron 
Broussard said, and there are too few radios and walkie-talkies to 
direct information to thousands of police officers and armed military 
personnel from around the country who are manning Jefferson streets. 
Satellite phones don't work, he added.

"We are having a tough time getting in touch with New Orleans," Maestri 
said.
