Just curious as to why these postings are delayed so long.
We'd do better just to listen to WWL and cut out all this
delayed texting. Well, if anyone is reading this, the Shell
station on Franklin has both gas and beer (cash only), Mardi
Gras has been open for biz and yes... many places in Mar/By
have no electric. But!.. the water, sewage and gas is fine.
The water is better than the bottled items from W-Mart..
If you need, Flora is open and has a/c. Talk to your
neighbors... give a little and get a little.
Best and be safe!

>> Subject: Hurricane Gustav District C Update
>>
>> Dear Constituents:
>>
>> During and since the storm, I have visited every
>> neighborhood in District C. I want to assure you that
>> damage from the storm is basically limited to minor
>> wind damage with many tree limbs and some trees down.
>> There has been no flooding in District C. Power is out
>> in 50% of the City. I stayed through the storm and
>continually monitored the changing conditions in the
>>district.
>> Regarding public safety, in addition to the entire NOPD,
>> there are 1,500 National Guard troops placed
>> strategically throughout the City to deal with
>> potential looters. My latest information is that one
>arrest has been made since the storm as it relates to
>>looting.
>> I want to thank all of you who complied with the
>> mandatory evacuation order and I want you to know that
>> everything possible is being done to expedite your
>> re-entry to New Orleans. Mayor Nagin will make an
>> announcement soon regarding the general re-entry of
>citizens. Please read the following information regarding
>>re-entry:
>> * Entry into the City of New Orleans will be based on
>> “phased access placard system”. This means that
key
>> personnel for safety and utilities are the first to
>> return to the City. This is to make sure power and water
>> is functioning, hospital staffing is at full levels,
>> street department road clearance, and other similar
>> people that support daily living needs are back and
>>working.
>> * The reason for tiered entry is to help control
>> traffic and public safety. This helps ensure that the
>> infrastructure of the City can be re-established
>> quickly and be made safe for its citizens. All reentry
>> plans are being phased based on the capacity of utility
>> services, hospital service capacity, and ensuring public
>> safety.
>> * Mayor Nagin announced yesterday that The City of New
>> Orleans will allow re-entry today (Tuesday, September 2
>> , 2006) of Tier 1. This Tier is defined as emergency
>> critical organizations and agencies that support the
>> government as well as those involved in the repair of
>> infrastructure. Examples would include utility
>companies, hospitals, and public works as well as
>> pre-designated government contractors (and their
>> sub-contractors) as well as pre- designated damage
>> recovery assessment teams from business that are deemed
>critical or of national importance. Federal, state, and
>> local agencies that provide clinical services to parish
>> municipal governments. major utility companies and
>> their pre-designated government contractors (and their
>> sub-contractors). volunteer rescue/ response
>organizations and certain private business and industry
>> pre- designated damage recovery assessment teams.
>>
>> * If a hospital employee wants to re-enter, they must
>> state where they are going in the City as well as show
>> valid and current hospital identification.
>>
>> * Essential City Employees may enter at this time,
>> must show their City ID card, and state their
>>destination.
>> * All entities and personnel granted access must be
>> self- sustainable and prepared to abide by all movement
>> and curfew restrictions in effect. No support services
>> – such as fueling stations, grocery stores, or other
>> items of convenience – should be expected to be open
>>immediately upon re-entry.
>> * The airport is not open at this time, but the City
>> will notify residents and media on the timeframes in
>>subsequent updates.
>> * The City remains under a mandatory evacuation, and
>> each person must display an appropriate city-issued
>> placard – Tier 1 today – in order to enter New
Orleans.
>>
>> * Roadblocks are out to maintain traffic control and
>> only properly credentialed persons may re-enter as
>>listed in this bulletin.
>> * Mayor Nagin assured residents that the general
>> population will be able to re-enter New Orleans within
>> the next few days. By Tuesday evening, Mayor Nagin will
>> be able to assess the status of re-entry for Tier 2
>> (critical infrastructure, those with major economic
>impact, or damage assessment teams) placard holders as well
>> as the general population and those who used the City
>> Assisted Evacuation Plan.
>>
>> * The New Orleans EOC and Joint Information Center
>> will continue to be operational.
>>
>>
>> MANDATORY EVACUATION
>>
>> * The City’s mandatory evacuation, which began on
>> Sunday, August 31, remains in effect.
