I must disagree. Perhaps the members of your church wren't to blame, but certainly there were higher-up elements of FEMA who actively thwarted help coming in. They wouldn't let the Red Cross give out food and water in NOLA. They turned down trucks and buses other states offered to get people out when that was still needed. Later, they stopped the Nat'l Guard from giving out food and water in NOLA. They set up camps for evacuees that looked like the places we put Japanese in WW II until media outrage in the blogosphere shut them down.
