BlogNote:

Orleans Parish is excluded.

That, my friends, is wreckless negligent homicide. If not outright premeditated mass murder. Genocidal maniacs with class and ethnic motives. The serial pattern began with Iraq.

UPDATE:
Using "The Wayback Machine" I found an archived webpage of the White House Official Declaration, LINK.

Here is a thumbnail of a screenshot of that
page,just in case the archive is removed too:

UPDATE:
From the declaration:

"Specifically, FEMA is authorized to identify, mobilize, and provide at its discretion, equipment and resources necessary to alleviate the impacts of the emergency. Debris removal and emergency protective measures, including direct Federal assistance, will be provided at 75 percent Federal funding."
