Actually I don't know of anyone getting turned away in the entire state of Louisiana so I'm not sure where you are even coming from on this. I realize you want to turn people away with this crazy get a certificate idea that is being passed around. You guys just vote on it over there in Louisiana and see if it passes. If it passes cool, don't hold your breath. Most people don't want to slap a gift horse in the mouth. Not anyone with sense anyway.

Did this not happen during Katrina?
Let me ask you do you have any emergency management experience?
Do you have any time in the trenches responding to emergencies?
What we saw last week was crazy I'll give you that. Are we thankful for the citizen responders, yes. Was it annoying when citizens got in the way and pushed wakes that made the situation more dangerous? Yes. Would an organized force have been more beneficial? Yes.
Can this be done? Yes.
Is there a program already like this out there..... I'll give you a second and you can guess this one......
Yes!

Wow this isn't hurting anything and amazingly they work! But if you were involved in regional disaster response you would know all of these things!
