[StBernard] Armoring Levees

[Westley Annis]

Ron,
 
The decision by FEMA is based on the economic justification or eligibility
of the slab material for demolition reimbursement.  An overriding issue
continues to be avoiding setting a precedent of disaster responses here for
future circumstances.
 
I still have been unable to accurately predict what FEMA's line of thought
will be when a creative concept is presented to them.  We continue on.
 
God Bless,
Craig

Interesting to note that the head of the levee board in Jefferson Parish
contacted Armstrong Airport and got possession of the runway they were
breaking up to armour her levees.  She did this before the storm and her
levees held.  So what gives with not using the slabs of demoed houses?  Ron
