I have posted on the other doing without board something that I copied from the official white house site. It specificially says that FEMA was to CORDINATE and there fore was in charge. This was written on Sept 27. This puts to rest forever who was to blame and who was in charge and all of the "I didn't know" arguments. Note: I believe the wrong parishes are listed on all the legal papers. Someone typed in the parishes that where away from the coast instead of the ones on the coast. I do not know if this is that way or not, but I do not see any of the one's listed that I see on TV as the hard hit. Remember Lousianna was French in the beginning and much about the state is from French laws and customs. And parish is similar to county in other states-but I don't think exactly the same. It comes from where the Catholic Churches where located. Each Catholic Church and surronding area was a Parish. Therefore more parishes in New Orleans where more churches where located.
