I'm going.

Des has told me that I am for-sure going to be deployed to a FEMA assignment some time next week. I do not have any details yet. I will post when I know.

Just one thing: it's highly unlikely that I will be anywhere near the chaos in New Orleans. I will most likely be somewhere near the oil refineries - Gulfport or somewhere. So when you read the news about the hellhole that has eruped in the Big Easy, don't worry, I'm not headed there.

Edit: Newsweek has an interesting article about the longer-term issues raised by this storm.

Shhh! Don't give away all of our secrets.

We're being advised not to wear FEMA gear, btw. It's too scary down there to make easy targets.

So how do you tell the whole police force to seal off the city so they don't find the hurricane experimentation machine that made it all go wrong, if your not dressed correctly
