Senate Approves $10.5B in Hurricane Aid - Yahoo! News

Senate Approves $10.5B in Hurricane Aid - Yahoo! News: "'This is a national emergency. This is a national disgrace,' said Terry Ebbert, the head of emergency operations for New Orleans. He said it had taken too long to evacuate the Superdome, a sports complex that quickly became a squalid shelter for tens of thousands of storm refugees.

'FEMA has been here three days, yet there is no command and control,' he said, referring to the
Federal Emergency Management Agency. 'We can send massive amounts of aid to tsunami victims, but we can't bail out the city of New Orleans.'"
