Quick, Before She Deletes It: Senator Landrieu's Own Website Puts Onus On Local Authorities For Immediate Response
DISASTER ASSISTANCE
Emergency management operations for disasters include three phases: preparedness, response, and recovery. In the preparedness phase, state and local governments administer emergency preparedness programs with ongoing activities to help ensure that they are ready to respond to disasters. The Louisiana Department of Emergency Preparedness is responsible for all initial damage assessment prior to federal involvement.
The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) partially funds disaster assistance and emergency preparedness programs. Victims whose immediate needs are not met by voluntary relief organizations, such as the Red Cross and the Salvation Army, can register with FEMA.
Farmers Home Administration (FmHA) emergency loans are made to eligible farmers, ranchers, and aquaculture operators for losses arising from natural disasters. To be eligible for an emergency loan, farmers must carry crop insurance.
The Small Business Administration (SBA) lends money to victims of floods, riots or other catastrophes to repair or replace disaster damaged property. Direct loans are made to small businesses and agricultural cooperatives which are unable to obtain credit elsewhere and which have substantial economic injury resulting from natural disasters.

The same people demanding pictures of the dead in New Orleans and the caskets at Dover, Delaware have been successful in keeping pictures of people jumping from the WTC and their crushed bodies off the air because they might inflame the people.
