Authorities scramble to get food and water to residents as they cope with the aftermath of Katrina. They must first clear the highways because they are either flooded or blocked by debris. The federal agencies are ready to help state and local officials. State and local officials desperately trying to figure out how to coordinate the effort without creating further problems. Part of the problem has been that there are no places within the immediate vicinity where they would be able to provide assistance. Emergency shelters and the Superdome are being evacuated to higher ground as the water level continued to rise in the city.
