The latest: Members of the military and FEMA are going door-to-door not telling, but evangelizing, people to leave. In other words, the authorities repeat stern phrases like “it’s unsafe here” and “we urge you to leave,” but aren’t forcing anyone out and most still remain. On the other hand, local police officers are concerned that residents making a sudden exit, just as things are getting better, will leave them shorthanded. It’s not surprising that the police wish for people to stick around who know and care about New Orleans, but I, too, wonder about the safety implications.
