FEMA asking IAFC for firefighters to distribute forms and pamphlets.

They should be asking for engine companies and firefighters!!!!



The first wave of politics goes in before the first wave of help...

This is a disaster plan?

Obviously, it's going to get worse before it gets better. I know that money is pouring in from all over this great land, and that will help. However, I can't help but wondering where Bono, Sting, and the rest of that gang are. If this happened in a third world country, they'd be all over the front page. I did a quick Google and didn't find anything about Hollyweird calling for help either. Once again, the REAL hero is going to be Joe Working American. I have great faith that this country will step to the plate and bang one out of the park. Now if they'd quit shooting at the rescue copters...

Now if they'd quit shooting at the rescue copters...

There is a cure for that, doorgunners!!



Let them shoot back! We used to shoot looters, didn't we?



The money is there. It's our government that is MIA!!



They need the marines from the wet side, and the 82nd from the dry side, then there would be order

I know it won't do much, but I'm stationed here at MCAS Cherry Point, NC... We just had a cake auction and we raised $5,000 in a matter of 20 minutes. "Know" that help is on the way and we're doing all we can as fast as we can. Machinist Mate Petty Officer 2nd Class (USN)... . "Center for Naval Aviation Techinical Trainning"
