he lost everything in katrina and has been living paycheck to paycheck. since the oil spill, the boats he works on haven't been leaving the dock. >> it really hurts. the oil spill come. it really punished us. it really did. >> reporter: local faith-based groups have been trying to do what they can to help. catholic charities of the archdiocese of new orleans has set up relief centers in churches around the region. at saint anthony's in the fishing village of lafitte, people packed in the church hall to receive bags of food and gift cards for groceries. case managers helped people fill out bp claims and apply for government aid. a crisis counselor mingled in the crowd, offering emotional support and referrals for more intensive counseling services. and there were activiti to help the children focus on something other than the oil spill. at this center, there was also specific help for the vietnamese american community, which makes up more than 30% of the gulf coast fishing industry. >> those vietnamese immigrants are a very independent group of people. the

this book was going to be more about, hey, this is pretty unique here, and shortly after katrina to the super bowl parade, this is our story, and we do think that we have got the best fans in the world. tavis: you mentioned earlier the distractions that exist. of course, any city has distractions. its own unique kinds of distractions. but in the evaluation processes, because every team has to go through this, how do you know, how do you figure out who you are drafting, trading for, bringing in the right kind of players that can handle the unique distractions of this particular environment? >> that is a great question. obviously, the combination of first finding the player that has the talent to be successful in our league, but trying to find a player that is motivated past money, that is motivated to excel. i think it is. what i mean by that is, certainly, what you are trying to find is that person who is driven to be great, and, certainly, and they are going to make an awful lot of money, and it is not as much as a basketball player might or a baseball player, but a person who is drive

we don't have trials like what happened with katrina. so many of you that have been sparks of hope and imagination, people that are engaged we have someone that will talk about how she has sparked the imagination and engagement of a city that was ready to abandon, not just her but the entire broadmoore community. in fact, the mayor who is a friend, this is not a critique, put together after the challenges in katrina, put together a diverse group of what we say the best and the brightest. came up with a bad idea. we don't always get it right. they said broadmoore had been wiped out. they said, it ain't worth bringing back. we are going to make it open space. and the speaker i will introduce in a moment she like many of you said, wait that's my community. that's my neighborhood. you made that decision without us in mind. the community was forced to leave. they were not part of this discussion. and she said, like so many of you said to me and others, no that's not the way it's going to be. she stepped up and stepped in and she was heard. an

this is something that we have done today after katrina. it is something you can do now as well in the event a disaster does strike. again, i told you about other things, the ride share program we have created now. it's aiding residents to get out. as i mentioned there is no place of last resort. again, it's the neighbors who are responsible for one another. we have residents can sign up to take an elderly out. we can take kids out or whom ever needs a ride, pets, things like that. a lot of people in broadmoore and in the city of new orleans because of their pets. pets are our family. i had a beshon that went with me and i wouldn't leave him or plan to in the future. tailor the information to the residents that live within your community and give them the information that they need to make sure they survive. and that we continue to help one another. it's all about what we can do not only for ourselves but for our communities. in closing, i want to leave you with some additional points that i have made throughout the presentation. just it's

this bullet -- oil is coming in. >> reporter: this family lost everything in katrina, just bought this fishing boat they can't wait to use for fishing and not oil boom, now trying to get it hurricane-ready in a hurry. >> the last thing we want to do is worry about four boats that we have out, scattered throughout louisiana. >> reporter: where life is tied that water, so is anxiety. and lately, it only seems to be rising. the goal on these bayous is simply to work through it. many are so exhausted from three months of worry, they feel this is the least of it. and at any rate, the storm will pass. lester? >> michelle kosinski, thanks. >>> and now we turn to the weather channel's jim cantore, who's in naples, florida, with the latest on this storm now, where it is headed and what it might mean for all the oil in the gulf. jim, good evening. >> good evening, lester. you wouldn't know we had a storm here today, that's for sure. the sun is out here in naples and the storm pushes to the northwest. let's look at that projected path and time it forward, shall we? you can see, we get into saturd

in katrina, september 11 had eight or 9000 claimants, the september 11 fund, katrina, over 230,000 people have filed claims, 150,000 were found eligible, 130,000 or paid out with an average of about 67,000 in one program alone. the payments to individuals, not to mention fema payment of assistance and otherwise to the local government. it was a complicated process. what was more difficult with the process -- there was a program designed and actually the design was changed at public times 5 hud, and the criteria had been met for every dollar paid to an individual. and the context of this process, this would be a settlement and it would be largely up to be. and up to a feinberg and his group on how to pay claims. the government will not restrict with its own red tape and regulation, things like duplication and benefits, how benefits get paid. it would be a more difficult process here because there will be a lot more claims, to some degree, but it would be an easier process to ultimately handled, i hope, and we believe, because it is simple settlement. the judicial system obsolete can handle

against six new orleans police officers in the killing and cover-up of unarmed citizens after hurricane katrina. >> what appears to me is that the officers based upon the admitted statements immediately decided to not tell the truth. that's just disgusting. >> lehrer: that's all ahead on tonight's "newshour." major funding for the pbs newshour has been provided by: this is the engine that connects zero emission technologies to breathing a little easier, while taking 4.6 million truckloads off the road every year. bnsf, the engine that connects us. and the william and flora hewlett foundation, working to solve social and environmental problems at home and around the world. and with the ongoing support of these institutions and foundations. and... this program was made possible by the corporation for public broadcasting. and by contributions to your pbs station from viewers like you. thank you. >> lehrer: u.s. forces in afghanistan added eight more names to the killed in action list today. it was the latest sign of the escalating war, as american commanders struggle to adapt. the first strike cam

i saw this firsthand, i went down to help out with katrina thing in september. it's weird. because you are dealing with people that lost everything and it's kind of hard to imagine that if you haven't done it yourself. basically, you know, she's looking at her curtains here, she probably hand-stitched those things. maybe they have been hanging there the last 5 or 6 years. everything in the house is wrecked, photos, keepsakes, it's a tough thing. and people deal with this kind of stress in different ways. we as disaster workers, we see it all the time. but we have a word we use, professional. we try to be professional around people that have suffered a loss like this because they don't want us to come -- you don't want to go into somebody's house and be joking and having a good time. it's unprofessional. when you are dealing with somebody who has a loss like this, just think of the word professional. that's what we try to do. this sort of body language here, she's trying to comfort here, do you think she's buying it? not with that body language. she's not really buying it. s

on august 29, 2005, hurricane katrina hit south mississippi. so they left this because the nation warned them that a bad storm was coming and came home to this. corky is a financial manager. he's a smart guy. he had a lot of insurance. he thought. as a matter of fact, corky had $650,000 worth of insurance on that house. problem was, under the rules of the national flood insurance plan that mr. sessions agrees needs changing and i'm trying to change today, we pay the private sector, state farm, nationwide, we pay them to sell the policy, they get a premium, we pay them to adjust the claims. the problem is, no one bothered to think that, wait a minute, we're letting that claims adjuster decide, he's playing god. he can say the wind did it which means his company has to pay, state farm, nationwide, or he can say the water did it, which means the taxpayers have to pay. you're right, mr. sessions. we should not have paid that $18 billion. the reason we paid that $18 billion is a bad set of rules that allowed companies like state farm, nationwide, to

officers for crimes committed following katrina.e have already pled guilty for covering up the brissette shooting. >> we're going to try to build the best police department in the country. we have a very long way to go. >> reporter: the mayor asked the federal justice department for help cleaning up the new orleans police long plagued by what many see as a culture of corruption, including allegations of unconstitutional searches, racial profiling and a failure to protect certain neighborhoods. there are now eight federal probes under way in new orleans where the mother of james brissette wants justice. >> you killed my child, you deserve to die, too. >> reporter: and where an alarming number of those trusted to enforce the law stand accused of breaking it. jim axelrod, cbs news, new york. >> couric: i'll be back from the gulf later in the broadcast. right now harry smith in new york has more of the day's news. harry? >> smith: all right. thanks, katie. tonight we learned an f.d.a. panel has finally made its recommendation about the

before katrina, just 2% of new orleans schools were charters. by next year, two-thirds will be. no other school system in the country has tried charter schools on this scale. >> i am a believer in schools having the freedom and autonomy to make decisions that are in the best interest of the children. and so i support charter schools because charter schools are a vehicle for achieving that type of freedom. >> reporter: at charter schools like sophie b write the principal calls the showss. >> i make sure instruction is in place and effective and it in aligned with the state standards, i make sure the budget is bald and we have money for pay ol ro. i make sure that the kids feel safe, that all programs are running effectively. >> reporter: one of principal sharon clarks first decision was to separate institutes by gender. last year with the support of parents, she made another change. >> you were talking about adding a 9th grade. >> yes. because we are a charter, we have that option to change our grade configuration based on our community input. and as a result, we now, we are a hi

are we building another katrina in the delta and are we doing so that increases the delta failure that has profound water shortage implications and we have them claiming yes climate change is real, yes, it has implications, but, no, they would not evaluate them. so being the reasonable people we are, we sued them. but we think it require as real analysis especially when agencies are making long-term issues with profound effects for public safety and we hope the courts resolve that rapidly and the legislature can do that as well. >> as far as regional exercises, i think i'm all for it. they do have their limitations but the way to improve these models and to understand their capabilities is to use them and try to confirm that they work on big events that we actually have observed, and so you know, typically, we look retrospective simulations and try to introduce as much independence in the tests that are used, in order to gain confidence that the models work in future situations. i'm not familiar with the environmental quality act or activity that you mentioned but i think it's worth di

guest: so this is a very different kind of situation from katrina. you kno but it has many, many parallels. and you're right to emphasize that the human impact is quite different here. at least as relates to the city of new orleans. you know, you can take, for example -- and when you get out into these rural communities down in the buyo what people think of as louisiana cagen culture, communities that were not really covered during katrina and gus tove and ike, had in many ways just as bad things happen to them. you know, those folks give you an example. for example, fishermen during those big storms would have had his or her home destroyed. would have lost their boat. but they knew that the shrimp were going to be there when they came back. they nvested in their businesses, they rebuilt their boats and got out there. now the bp disaster happened. it's very different. they still have their boat. many are asked to go out and do things like control burns but they don't know whether their future is there in terms of their fishery and culture. and it's a

katrina. shamefully i didn't go down right away, i waited because i thought i'd be in the way. then we got 40 people out of the water in one little boat. so i was hearing about amputations being done with no more than a motrin. >> rose: without morphine. >> yeah. /knew somebody who could get me these medications and get them the venezuelan embassy and also this was a... >> rose: but you did an interesting thing there, too. you went to the military and said the look, i found out that hvs, somebody i know and have had many conversations with, is prepared to give us... was it morphine? >> morphine and ketamine. >> rose: and you went to the army and said "i want you to know this." >> and they said "we'll apologize later, bring it on." president clinton said the other day in haiti this is one thing that venezuela, the united states and cuba agree on. that these people need this medical help now. you will never... you bring doctors, you bring medicine, you bring medical equipment and supplies to haiti and you spend two seconds figuring out where those things are going to be useful. y

>> as we discovered in katrina the out of area contacts are important for communication. because no one you couldn't call a new orleans area code it was not happening. he was able to reach myself in california and our aunt in dallas,texas on a land line. how many know their relatives phone numbers. i'm not meaning picking up your cell phone and clicking, mom. the red cross has a wallet card there is your emergency contact plan where you write down a land line number. we're discovering that text mess anning and e mails work. having the information in your son's back pack or your purse or the car in multiple places so you community with your out of state contact and through that you coordinate your reunionification. >> you have to speak into the microphone. >> it says all the communications will probably be down. >> on your pile of rubble that's your house there is no reason why you can't put a note saying this is where the family is. when you listen to the radios and the radios tell you where the shelters the first thing we set up is communications. you can go there and ge

personally, the plan came into affect during katrina. my family is from new orleans. they were born and educated there. my grandparents are buried there and my sisters lived there. my sister did not evacuate until the last minute. she didn't voluntary evacuation and got stuck in a traffic jam and her car ran out of gas and had 2 kids in the back and was scared to death after that. when they said hurricane warning she was gone. she would pack up the kid in the car and the dog heading to dallas, texas where we have relatives and did that every time. there were times she would get 75 miles out of town and they would say, turn around come on home. and they said cheryl stay come to our hurricane party. they always say new orleans will flood. she said. i was wrong this time but i only need to be right, once. when they called the voluntary evacuation with katrina and when the levies broke we knew she was safe. she had her disaster kit and family. the only one missing was the nephew. he knew his out of state contact and knew where his family was and knew how to get there much

i understand also what a wakeup call katrina was. the most important thing we do in this five-year grace period and appeal period, it's the least we can do for property owners faced with a new and expensive, instead of facing property owners with a new and expensive mandate in the middle of an economic crisis that began with a mortgage crisis with hundreds of people waiting to close, others newly in a flood map zone. this is needed relief and the least we can do before we go home. we've had our separate fights, let's get this temporary bill done and get on to comprehensive reform. the chair: the gentlelady yields back her time. mrs. capito: i continue to reserve my time. the chair: the gentlelady from california. ms. waters: i kwleeled one minute to the gentleman from -- i yield one minute to the gentleman from texas whose state experienced a lot of hardship with katrina and alex, mr. green for one minute. the chair: the gentleman is recognized for one minute. mr. green: quickly, i would ask two things. one, this bill helps us to sta

. >> reporter: bonnie fell apart before it even reached the area but with memories of hurricane katrina in the minds of many residents the threat was enough for some residents to consider mandatory evacuations for this boat harbor. >> katrina wiped us out, gustav put a lot of our stuff upped water, you know, and that's why, you know, we take these storms serious because, you know, we just can't afford another hit. if we get hit again and everything goes under water where are we standing? >> from the threat of see vac situation to people losing revenues from tourists, bonnie disrupted life for many along the gust coast. the endless months of disruptions have devastated the shrimp boat business. he hopes that ban on commercial fishing will be lifted soon. >> i'd like to see it open right back up and us go out there and get to work, i don't want to pick my rigs up and get 'em, some shrimp all mixed up with some oil. >> he forced the boats involved in the oil clean up back to shore but operations will likely resume in the next couple of days. ken disgibson, cbs news, gulfport, mississippi.

we had that with katrina. some of the money still sitting back in the states that the fishermen haven't received it yet. so we're concerned on that. there are a lot of issues involving third-party monies. when the federal government gives it to the state and the state gives it to another party. after katrina, five years, almost six, some of these fishermen haven't received their money. this cannot happen now. i tell the world, this cannot happen. we cannot wait a year. right now, the monies, $5,000 they have been giving our fishermen, has stopped. we have to make sure this money keeps coming, because after katrina we borrowed money and i'm 50 years old. i started from scratch again. now, it's very hard to get up on your feet again. how many times must you ask the people to get back up and go again? we are going to come back. we may take time, but we just make sure that we have the help where it's needed. that is one of my main goals in pushing forward with b.p. we have to make sure these people get provided fo

i am not criticizing fema during katrina. we showed you the whole town and all of a sudden they sent francis in. it looked like what was happening with b.p. and they had to start over again with it. one of the things i forgot earlier, bringing about the stuff was, you get mom and dads not making money. what we did is got with b.p. and asked to hire the kids from 14-year-old to 17-year-old boys and girls. we bring them to the shop, put them on a bus and it's litter control and they got their first paycheck last friday -- no, wednesday, i'm sorry. and they were so excited because they couldn't go in their living room and saw their mom and dad frustrated, fighting. they were afraid to ask for $5 to buy ice cream or go to the store. all their values taken away. what happens is they make their own money and you can see talking with the parents now things got little better inside the house, that the kids are making their own money. and we make sure we feed them breakfast. they take two hours off for lunch. but that's one of the thi

today almost five years after hurricane katrina, convention bookings have not returned to hurricane katrina because of the damage to the new orleans brand and the oil spill rinks surrendering the ground we've gained over the last few years along with future increases. while my testimony is not primarily on t bp claims process i have hear from executive along the that there's a willingness to set up a claims center and that would be solely focused on restaurant and hotel industries i want to voice my strong support for that idea. regarding my three new orleans restaurants specifically, sales are down, counts are down, costs are up and margins are down. this is not a sustainable business model. as the oil looms offshore with impact that could last for many years to come. with regard to perceptions and misconceptions i would like to begin applauding our ate an federal officials for stringent safe testing of gulf seafood that has allowed tthful repoing around potential toxicity of the seafood. 100% of reports show gulf foods to be safe from areas that are approved. ongoing testing is crucial fo

one of the callers talked about katrina. the posttraumatic stress syndrome has happened to so many people in new orleans as a result of what has happened there. is the nation going to invest in making sure we have the right resources to help people with these kinds of things? that is very much an open question. whether bp will be responsible directly for those kinds of impacts, this is a question that will undoubtedly be worked out through litigation. it could be short cut with a real congressional action. one of the things people need to understand is litigation takes many years. it sucks up huge amounts of money and energy. we are hoping congress will address all of this together so we can spend the money on helping people, helping the eco system. i am a lawyer, but not on the fighting and the politics. host: you have the oil spill on your screen as we look at restoration. 27% of domestic crude oil production comes from the gulf region. as far as a fresh seafood every year, 1.2 billion pounds. it is six of the top-10 shipp

this was used during hurricane katrina. the governors of louisiana and mississippi have asked for such a waiver and that has not been implemented the coast guard was looking to prevent oil from reaching beaches, and yet the epa was refusing to grant a waiver because of some potential impact the was unknown at that time. do either of you have a comment on why the obama administration would not listen to and work with the affected governors of other states on this issue? >> once again drawing from the rita and katrina instances, we try to do everything we could to move as quickly as possible with common sense. i really cannot comment about all of the aspects of the current administration's decision making. i am not there, i don't know the details. >> hi referenced in my comments that we need to utilize these governors, a very talented people. when i was governor of idaho, and we had katrina and rita, i was in continued telephone communication with gov. barbour, perry. i could implement the idaho national guard, a variety of a
