Q There have been numerous complaints from people at the shelters in northern Louisiana about inadequate food, inadequate showers, inadequate health care. Are those isolated incidents, or did something break along the way?

ADMINISTRATOR PAULISON: I don't think there's anything broken. It was one particular shelter we had problems with that was not a Red Cross-run shelter. That was a city-run shelter. I did ask the Red Cross to put a team in there today, to look at it and give me an assessment of what it's like.

We don't do sheltering, but at the same time, when we see something like that, we want to make sure that people are in a safe place. So I did ask the Red Cross to put a team to go in and look at the shelter, give us an assessment, and hopefully I'll get that when I'm on the ground. But I haven't got a report back yet.
