Not so amazaing fact list.  Many of hte titles you places on these 
stories are at best very misleading or out right lies.  Did you even 
bother to read any of these articles or did you just cut ant past from 
one of the various websites that had this very list posted?

Rail was shut down in the area and could not be reopened until the rail 
lines and bridges can be checked.  That is direct from a railyard 
operator here in Houston.

Do you even think about these issues before you cite them?  Do you think 
it is wise you allow anyone and everyone access to a disaster zone that 
is not secure or safe?  I know we want them in to help those who need 
help but in a situation such as this it becomes an all to common 
occurance that the helpers soon be come the ones needing help.  This 
would further drain resources to help those who need it the most.

With supplies, where do you put it all?  You have to plan out logistics 
or else supplies are lost and wasted.

Use some common sense instead of knee-jerk reactions.

In the link that you cite, "Right now access is controlled by the 
National Guard and local authorities".  FEMA had nothing to do with that.

In the article you cite a quote from it sums up why people are turned away

" you can't go in there. They don't know them (trained volunteers) from 
Adam, so they can't let them in," he said of federal officials."

Hmmm, you do not see anything inheritly dangerous in this?  If problems 
would have occured then resources ,like the Coast Guard" would have to 
be diverted to handle the situation.

Do you realize the enormaity of the whole operation?  With the tons of 
supplies, thoushands of personnel and vehicles, victims and tasks that 
just because one ships medical bay is not used is not a failure.  The 
ship was being used to house and transport supplies to Mississippi.

So what?  Do realize that they had hundreds of truck that were either 
there or being offered?

Was not in the link.  Besides, you get them then you have to distribute 
them. You have to have fuel.  Perhaps the best use of man power at that 
time was on rescue and food supply and fuel management for emergency 
vehicles.

�The response to Hurricane Katrina must be well coordinated between 
federal, state and local officials to most effectively protect life and 
property,� Brown said. �We appreciate the willingness and generosity of 
our Nation�s first responders to deploy during disasters. But such 
efforts must be coordinated so that fire-rescue efforts are the most 
effective possible.�
