Most of the press wouldn't be able to stand themselves if they reported on any positive aspects of the relief efforts. This isn't to say that the volunteers didn't perform a needed service or perform it well. needed certainly but truly how well did they do? I listened to some of it clearly the voltoteers were hampered by the fact the govt had colapsed in the area. This was a point lost on the Extra-elites of RRAP. For them, amateur radio's role is to support their government masters. I asked again and again what did Joe Average have to communicate with? Who was supporting Joe Average? So, with the government collapsed in NO, who did the amateurs (that were trained to support the government) support? I caught an no ham story about a sheriff hijacking a truckload of FEMA ice for his town that was just siting 6 day later at an ari base. I heard about tons and tons of ice being driven all over the USA for no good. the efforts were claerly confused and chaotic. It wouldnice if the whole could be discussed dispassionately to see where thing could be inproved for some future disaster on this scale "Lessons Learned" are often merely lessons transcribed on to paper and not learned. The next disaster will likely have a different set of players. but we know the chest thumpers will not allow Never do. |
