MORE SMOKING GUN DOCUMENTS

PLEASE KNOW THAT OVER THE NEXT FEW WEEKS THIS BLOG AS WELL AS MANY OTHERS ARE ATTEMPTING TO POST DOCUMENTS THAT SHOW THAT MANY GOVERNMENT OFFICES FAILED THEIR OWN LAWS AND MANDATES TO PROVIDE CARE AND APPROPRIATE SERVICES IN THE NALOZONE. AND YES, SINCE THIS IS A MAJOR CATASTROPHE I AM MORE FOCUSED ON FEDERAL RESPONSE. I ALSO DO NOT PERSONALLY BELIEVE FINDING FAULTS WITH LOCAL REGIONAL REPONSE IS FAIR, AS THE RESPONDERS ARE ALSO VICTIMS IN THIS DISASTER. ( EXAMPLE IS THE POLICE WHO ALSO LOST HOMES AND FAMILY MEMBERS).

IT IS IMPORTANT NOW TO EXAMINE THE ISSUES RELATED TO THE FEMA DEPT. THAT HAS BEEN DECIMATED AND TURNED INTO A WISP OF A DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY. HOMELAND SECURITY IS NOW MOSTLY FOCUSED ON THE EVERLOOMING FEAR MONGERING ASPECT OF THE BUSH AGENDA- SO MUCH SO THAT NORMAL IMPORTANT DISASTER RESPONSE AND CARE PROGRAMS HAVE BEEN NULLIFIED IN THE PAST 14 MONTHES ESPECIALLY UNDER MR.CHERTOFF. MOST OF THE NEW AGENDA IS FOCUSED ON MILITARIZING EMERGENCY ZONES, AND FEAR OF NUCLEAR WEAPONS. YET IN THE 1990S MANY IMPORTANT REVISIONS HAD BEEN MADE THAT HAD INCREASED FEMA AT ONE TIME FUNCTION WITH A HIGH LEVEL OF EFFICIENCY DURING MOST HIGH LEVEL DISASTERS. MOST OF THE RESPONSES WERE ACTUALLY IMPROVED AFTER 1992 WITH HURRICANE ANDREW.

PLEASE ALSO READ http://nolacare.blogspot.com/ as there are postings daily dealing with Health issues in the Nolazone that are critical to watch and comprehend. Latest post is about Death issues, but will in the long run help the living survivors cope.

***[again Part I will be list of documents, and part II an analysis and pages of revelance]***

PART I:REVELANT DISASTER DOCUMENTS ( this is second series this week- six posted two days ago). At this point people studying the Federal Response should download- while still available. There are differences between Mr.Ridge's plans and Mr.Chertoff, and many changes were made in Jan, March and June of 2005 that might indeed have signifigant ramifications.
