I’ve just heard the St. Bernard Parish President Henry “Junior” Rodriguez talk about the situation they’ve had to deal with over the past 10 days. One of the hardest-hit areas in New Orleans has just seen FEMA for the first time today. He couldn’t believe that they haven’t had federal help, but that 50 rescue workers from Canada have been there for days and helped rescue and evacuate more than 8000 people from the parish.

Update - found a Reuters article with details.
