I'm not clear on what the Red Cross presence was in other States.... doesn't seem like much if any from the media reports. Sounds like a lot of private donations are keeping people alive. I know there are hundreds of Red Cross shelters open and caring for people, at least.
My impressions is every dept. is consumed with these petty turf wars over their jurisdiction (even on down to the National Gaurd, and the Police).
