As the refugees from N.O. are being moved to emergency shelter across the country including to places as far away as here in Phoenix, I wonder if anyone is thinking of providing these people longer term shelter with a little more dignity and privacy than the floors of stadiums and arenas? I hope many can find a place in the homes of relatives, but I know many will not.

The saddest thing on the news yesterday afternoon was seeing people who want to avoid evacuation. I know what they are feeling, but until some basic services like fresh water and sewers are back on line, the city remains a death trap.
