Residents were ordered
to flee an only partially rebuilt New
Orleans Sunday as another monster storm
bore down on Louisiana nearly three
years to the day after Hurricane Katrina
wiped out entire swaths of the city.
Hurricane Gustav, which
already killed more than 80 people in
the Caribbean, weakened slightly over
Cuba and again over the Gulf of Mexico
but was expected to regain strength
as it moves over warm waters toward
the U.S. coast, possibly becoming a
top-scale Category 5 hurricane later
on Sunday.
FEMA
says Gustav soon to be rated Category
5
The government's disaster
relief chief says Hurricane Gustav is
growing into a monster Category 5 storm.
The storm that hit Cuba Saturday could
reach landfall along the Gulf Coast
by early Tuesday.
Federal Emergency Management Agency
chief David Paulison told reporters
several times at a briefing Saturday
that the storm was strengthening into
a Category 5 hurricane.
FEMA officials said Bill Read, the
director of the National Hurricane Center,
interrupted an afternoon teleconference
involving the agency, Gulf Coast states
and the National Weather Service to
say he is going to issue a special advisory
statement raising Gustav to Category
5. That means winds greater than 155
mph and a storm surge greater than 18
feet above normal.
Word about the Category 5 development
reached FEMA shortly before Paulison
briefed reporters.

Mandatory evacuation, Saturday 4pm
On the morning of August 26, with Gustav still
over Haiti, Louisiana emergency preparedness
officials met several times to discuss predictions
that Gustav would reach the state as a major
hurricane in three to five days. Several areas
of Louisiana planned for evacuations. Several
parishes in the New Orleans area announced
plans for mandatory evacuations beginning
Saturday, August 30: city mayor Ray Nagin
said that it was possible thousands of people
who need city help could start leaving on
Saturday, as the first wave of a full-scale
evacuation.
Officials had finalized evacuation plans,
which proposed assisted evacuations as early
as August 29: contraflow lanes on all major
highways, and 700 buses to help move evacuees.
For those evacuees in need of shelter, the
state government secured tens of thousands
of shelter beds. Unwilling to repeat the mistakes
of Hurricane Katrina, the Louisiana Superdome
and the New Orleans Convention Center will
not be used as emergency shelters.
The following day, Louisiana governor Bobby
Jindal declared a state of emergency, activating
between 3,000 and 8,000 members of the Louisiana
National Guard.
Mayor of New Orleans Ray Nagin shortened
his appearance at the Democratic National
Convention in Denver, Colorado to assist in
preparations. In Harris County, Texas, Judge
Ed Emmett has said that the Reliant Astrodome
will not be used as a shelter for evacuees
if Hurricane Gustav hits New Orleans, because
Houston is also vulnerable to Hurricane Gustav;
according to Emmett, it would make more sense
to evacuate to a more inland area. Tulane
University officials reported that the university
will be closed on August 29 and will resume
normal business operations on September 3,
with classes resuming a day later. Xavier
University of Louisiana and Loyola University
New Orleans also canceled classes and won't
resume until September 4. The University of
Louisiana at Lafayette also canceled classes
for September 3.
The residents of low-lying Grand Isle, Louisiana
were under a voluntary evacuation order beginning
Friday, August 29. Traditionally, the community
is one of the first to vacate when tropical
storms threaten. Residents of lower Cameron
Parish, Louisiana were also given a voluntary
evacuation order on Friday.

Texas Also, the Texas Governor has deployed
other assets to help handle the oncoming disaster.
Mississippi
On August 27, requests and orders began for
evacuations along the Gulf Coast.
Gustav howled into Cuba's Isla de Juventud
as a monstrous Category 4 hurricane on Saturday
while both Cubans and Americans scrambled
to flee the path of the fast-growing storm.
Forecasters said Gustav was just short of
becoming a top-scale Category 5 hurricane
as it powered its way toward mainland Cuba,
where authorities were hurriedly evacuating
more than 240,000 people from the nation's
tobacco-rich western tip.
The hurricane was projected to plow into
the oil-rich Gulf of Mexico at full force
Sunday, and reach the U.S. coast as early
as Monday afternoon. A hurricane watch was
issued from Texas east to Florida, an area
that includes New Orleans, which Hurricane
Katrina devastated in 2005 and still is not
100% back by any means.
Oil companies completing Gulf evacuations.
HOUSTON -Royal Dutch Shell, BP and other oil
companies wrapped up evacuations and shut
down production Saturday as an intensifying
Hurricane Gustav churned toward the petroleum-rich
waters of the Gulf of Mexico.
As of midday Saturday, slightly more than
three-fourths of the Gulf's oil production
and nearly 40 percent of its natural gas output
had been shut down, according to the U.S.
Minerals Management Service, which oversees
offshore activity.
Shell said it was on schedule to complete
the evacuation of more than 1,300 workers
from 20 production platforms and other facilities
by Saturday afternoon. The task took four
days and involved 17 helicopters.
BP said it also planned to have its workers
evacuated Saturday.
Both oil giants said production was being
completely shut off — a process that
can involve closing safety valves in thousands
of feet of water to prevent the release of
oil or natural gas.
New Orleans residents have
been ordered to evacuate Sunday as the threat
from Hurricane Gustav continues to grow. The
Category 4 hurricane slammed into Cuba Saturday
before entering the Gulf of Mexico.

After a Storm
If you evacuated, have valid identification.
You will not be allowed back into your area
unless you can show proof of residency.
When re- entering your home, proceed with
caution.
Be cautious of fires. Do not strike matches
until you are certain there are no gas leaks.
If you're at home, stay there and avoid sightseeing,
which can impede emergency and recovery response
from officials.
If a power outage occurs, turn off or disconnect
all motor- driven appliances and fixtures
to avoid damage from sudden surges when power
is restored. It's safer to use flashlights
than candles.
Beware of snakes, insects and animals driven
to higher ground.
Avoid downed or dangling utility wires.
