Marine and Navy helos are involved in picking up people. The entire water-rescue corps from Sacramento's fire/police was flown via C5 to Louisiana late yesterday. They come with their own boats and support and deep training in water/urban rescue. (Sacramento is, itself, protected from flooding by a levy system). Other cities with similiar units have sent them along as well. They expect to be on-task this afternoon. The nation really IS responding. The Red Cross and other agencies need our support as well. Money is the best thing to send. You can specify that it goes to the hurricane relief, if you desire.
