Volunteers have been pouring in since Friday with church groups with private boats. Governments response is five days late to send assets. A simple intergovernmental agreement would have avoided this delay. All Gulf states should avoid this ineptness in the future. Why can private individuals know the need five days before government? The reports in Houston from CNN is that they have only seen private boats and no government boats. Some national guard trucks, but no government boats.......massive governmental failure. Thank you brave private citizens who in the end are always the ones who make a difference. God bless you. This proves how inept government is.

This was our biggest issue - wondering what to do next/first? I hope others who have survived previous hurricanes share knowledge. As the years have passed, I realized that what I lost was just stuff, and I could rebuild. While it's upsetting at the time, you come to acceptance and realize that you can and will rebuild. Does anyone know how I could go about assisting in these endeavors for those impacted? I would love to help.
