Bloomberg promised "a very heavy police presence" in the darkened neighborhoods, which include much of Manhattan south of the Empire State Building, from the East River to the Hudson River. Even outside the blackout areas, police deployed vans and patrol cars with their roof lights on, along with officers on the streets in a robust show of force. NOTHING like the debacle that was New Orleans. To start with the NYPD is not nearly as corrupt as the NOLA police was. This is true. But that was only part of the problem. True. The corruption started with the governor herself, and worked its way all down the line. |

That sounds very Harryesque. |

"Boating All Out" wrote in message ... The Nat Guard always provides help. They are auxiliary cops. The Navy is doing squat. 20 guys with front end loaders can do more good clearing roads than the entire Navy, and they'll do it before the Navy gets a single ship underway. Navy isn't needed. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Here's a short list of US Navy participation in providing help and aid immediately following Katrina: - More than 9,790 Americas were rescued or evacuated by the 50+ Navy aircraft from deployed ships, as well as NAS Pensacola and Atlanta. - 17 Navy ships on station including Iwo Jima, Bataan and USNS Comfort, which treated 1,000 patients. - More than 3,400 Seabees deployed to the region and helped clearing roads, disposing of debris and building shelters. - Ship’s small boats alone performed 380 evacuations, 28 MEDEVACS and six rescues. - They delivered 68,900 pound of food and 113,000 pounds of water. -Onboard aircraft flew 1,730 sorties. - The Navy took care of the more than 800 Navy families who lost everything. All that within a few days. |

All that within a few days. Sandy, not Katrina. NY/NJ isn't a 3rd-world environment. Navy isn't evacuating anybody or providing any medical care. Locals have all that under control. Maybe the Seebees can help clear debris - if they ever get there. Not knocking the Navy. It's a different disaster. Any help they can provide will be welcomed. But nobody's stranded on rooftops. Here's the Navy role in Sandy relief efforts straight from the horse's mouth. http://navylive.dodlive.mil/2012/10/...-sandy-update/ |

The important part of your link with regard to Sandy is: " Right now, the only official tasking the Navy has received is ....." Granted, the role of the US Navy is not primarily for disaster relief and assistance, but it has made serious contributions, both here at home and to other countries over the years, as has the other branches of the US military. |

says... In article , says... There are still a lot of parallels. You have an inadequate building code with houses that were not up to the weather and thousands of people who ignored the evacuation order. NOLA was levee failure. No code protects a house from 8 feet of rushing storm surge. Get used to it. When you build at or below sea-level you are just one wave away from a disaster. They also seemed to ignore the warnings about having several days of supplies and a hurricane kit with flashlights and other tools they need. Some guy was selling flashlights for $20. We also see FEMA still takes over a week to actually do anything of consequence in spite of white victims, 8 years of reforms and a democratic president. Storm came Tuesday. This is Friday. FEMA is all over the place. Learn to count, Mr Perfect. Exactly what is FEMA doing? Again it is the US military to the rescue, flying in power company trucks from California (probably to be sure they are union). The navy is bringing in ships for logistic support and the national guard is doing what they always do in emergencies, backing up first responders.. Only crackers believe your anti-union bull**** paranoia. Prove it. The Nat Guard always provides help. They are auxiliary cops. Tell all of the National Guard units who went to war over the past decade that they are just auxiliary cops. The Navy is doing squat. No orders, no go. 20 guys with front end loaders can do more good clearing roads than the entire Navy, and they'll do it before the Navy gets a single ship underway. Navy isn't needed. Not if they don't have the fuel to run the equipment. And it won't matter if the loader drivers are union or not. It does in New Jersey. |
