Tracking shot of flooded area, houses and buildings under high waters STORYLINE: Hurricane Katrina on Monday slammed into the Gulf Coast just outside New Orleans, submerging entire neighbourhoods up to their roofs, swamping Mississippi''s beachfront casinos and blowing out windows in hospitals, hotels and high-rises. For New Orleans - which sits mostly below sea level - it was not the apocalyptic storm forecasters had feared. But it did caused lots of damage, both in New Orleans and elsewhere along the coast, where scores people had to be rescued from rooftops and attics as the floodwaters rose around them. At least five deaths were blamed on Katrina - three people killed by falling trees in Mississippi and two killed in a traffic accident in Alabama. And an untold number of other people were feared dead in flooded neighbourhoods, many of which could not be reached by rescuers because of high water. In New Orleans, there were mangled street signs and crumbled brick walls in the historic French Quarter. Windows were blown out of highrises and trees had fallen on streetcar tracks. White curtains that were sucked out of the shattered windows of a hotel became tangled in treetops. The National Hurricane Centre estimates the strongest winds to hit New Orleans were travelling at about 100 miles-per-hour (161 kilometres). In areas along the Gulf Coast, boats were flung onto land and bridges were left underwater. Katrina unleashed more chaos as it moved into Mississippi, hurling boats into buildings and ripping billboards to shreds. By mid afternoon on Monday, a rapidly weakening Katrina was centered about 20 miles (32 kilometres) southwest of Hattiesburg, Mississippi, moving northward. Katrina weakened overnight to a Category Four storm and made a slight turn to the right before hitting land near the bayou town of Buras. It passed just to the east of New Orleans as it moved inland and later dropped to a Category Two storm sparing the vulnerable city its full fury. But destruction was everywhere along the coast. In Baton Rouge, Louisiana, residents left their homes after the storm had passed and started to assess the damage, including fallen trees. In Hammond, houses and roads were left under floodwater. Authorities estimated that 40-thousand homes were flooded in St. Bernard Parish, just east of New Orleans. In some Gulf areas, authorities pulled stranded homeowners from roofs or rescued them from attics. Massive power outages crippled south-eastern Louisiana. Around 770-thousand homes in the state were without power. There were no immediate reports of deaths or serious injuries as of midday but emergency officials have been unable to reach some of the hardest hit areas. KEYWORD - HURRICANE KATRINA

Aerial shots of flooded New Orleans neighbourhoods, houses under water STORYLINE: With the death toll from Hurricane Katrina past 100, and rising, rescuers along the battered Gulf of Mexico Coast in the US struggled to reach survivors in a race against time and rising waters. Louisiana''s governor ordered storm refugees out of New Orleans after two levees broke on Tuesday, sending water coursing into the streets a full day after the city appeared to have escaped widespread destruction. An estimated 80 percent of the below-sea-level city was under water, up to 20 feet (6 metres) deep in places, with miles of homes swamped. Aerial views of the city showed the extent of the devastation and chaos. People stood on rooftops, waiting to be rescued. Hundreds of inmates were seen standing on a highway under armed guard because their prison had been flooded. Elsewhere, in Mississippi, parts of the resort town of Biloxi were left flattened. US President George W. Bush said the Gulf Coast faced "trying times". The president spoke at a San Diego naval base on Tuesday as he prepared to cut short his August ranch vacation because of the killer storm. Aides say Bush will spend the night in Texas but return to Washington on Wednesday to oversee the federal response to Katrina, which slammed ashore with 145-mph (233-kph) winds. The flooding in New Orleans prompted the evacuation of hotels and hospitals and an audacious plan to drop huge sandbags from helicopters to close up one of the breached levees. At the same time, looting broke out in some neighbourhoods. On New Orleans'' Canal Street, which resembled a canal, several looters ripped open the steel gates on clothing and jewelry stores, some packing plastic garbage cans with loot to float down the street. And with water rising perilously inside the city''s Superdome, Louisiana Governor Kathleen Blanco said the tens of thousands of refugees now huddled there and other shelters in New Orleans would have to be evacuated. The US Coast Guard said it has rescued 1,200 people by boat and air, some placed shivering and wet into helicopter baskets. They were brought by the truckload into shelters, some in wheelchairs and some carrying babies, with stories of survival and of those who didn''t make it. Louisiana senator Mary Landrieu said scenes were reminiscent of the December 26 Asian tsunami disaster. Insurance experts estimated the storm will result in up to 25 billion (b) US dollars in insured losses. That means Katrina could prove more costly than record-setting Hurricane Andrew in 1992, which caused an inflation-adjusted 21 billion (b) US dollars in losses. KEYWORD - HURRICANE KATRINA

Aerial view of flooded homes STORYLINE: In dramatic and sometimes agonising terms, federal disaster officials warned US President George W. Bush and his homeland security chief before Hurricane Katrina struck that the storm could breach levees, risk lives in New Orleans' Superdome and overwhelm rescuers, according to confidential video footage of the briefings. Bush didn't ask a single question during the final government-wide briefing the day before Katrina struck on August 29 (2005) but assured soon-to-be-battered state officials that the federal government is fully prepared. The president expressed confidence that then-Federal Emergency Management Agency chief Michael Brown and his disaster crews would prevail. Bush said: "I want to assure the folks at the state level that we are fully prepared to not only help you during the storm, but we will move in whatever resources and assets we have at our disposal after the storm." Six days of footage and transcripts obtained by The Associated Press show in excruciating detail that while federal officials anticipated the tragedy that unfolded in New Orleans and elsewhere along the Gulf Coast, they were fatally slow to realise they had not mustered enough resources to deal with the unprecedented disaster. The National Hurricane Centre's Max Mayfield said the storm models predicted minimal flooding inside New Orleans during the hurricane but he expressed concerns that even if the levees held during the storm, counterclockwise winds and storm surge afterwards could cause the levees at Lake Poncetrain to be overrun. Mayfield told the briefing: "I don't think any model can tell you with any confidence right now whether the levees will be toppped or not but that is obviously a very, very grave concern," One of the biggest failures identified in the post-Katrina reviews was the failure to prepare for the breaching of levees that caused the deadly flooding in New Orleans. Brown himself called the storm "a bad one, a big one" and implored federal agencies to eliminate red tape and do whatever it took to get help to the region, offering to take the heat for them afterwards. The videotape shows federal officials anticipated much of what ultimately happened in New Orleans and elsewhere along the Gulf Coast, but wrongly assumed they had enough resources in place to deal with an unprecedented disaster. During an interview with ABC's Good Morning America on September the 1st, President Bush said: "I don't think anybody anticipated the breach of the levees." In an interview with Associated Press on Wednesday, former FEMA director Michael Brown insisted the President should have known of the dangers to New Orleans' levees. During the briefing a number of officials also expressed concerns about the large number of New Orleans residents who had not evacuated. Brown said: "They're not taking patients out of hospitals, taking prisoners out of prisons and they're leaving hotels open in downtown New Orleans. So I'm very concerned about that." Despite the concerns, it ultimately took days for search and rescue teams to reach some hospitals and nursing homes. Brown also claimed one of his top concerns was whether evacuees who went to New Orleans Superdome - which became a symbol of the failed Katrina response - would be safe and have adequate medical care- He said that the Superdome was below sea level and he was concerned that the roof would not be able to withstand a Category Five hurricane. He also wanted to know whether there were enough federal medical teams in place to treat evacuees and the dead in the Superdome. In the final government-wide briefing before Katrina struck on August 29, Brown said he was concerned about federal disaster teams' "ability to respond to a catastrophe within a catastrophe."

Markham family getting their picture taken STORYLINE: The baby album for Witt Markham's soon-to-be-born sibling could include something extra special: photos of officers using flat-bottomed boats to rescue the youngster's frozen embryo from a sweltering hospital in the chaotic aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. Glen and Rebekah Markham are about to give birth via Caesarean section, nine months after being implanted with an embryo that nearly thawed when the flooded hospital lost electricity. The Markham's baby will be one of the first children to be born from the more than 1,400 embryos that were rescued from New Orleans' Lakeland Hospital two weeks after the storm. Because of fertility problems that afflicted both husband and wife, a clinic created embryos from her egg and his sperm in 2003. Two were implanted immediately, and one grew into their first child, Witt, who turned one just before Hurricane Katrina. The rest were stored in liquid nitrogen tanks at about minus 320 degrees fahrenheit (minus 195.5 celsius) to be used as needed. The Markhams had always planned to have at least two children. Their embryos, along with those belonging to hundreds of other couples, were kept at the Fertility Institute's laboratory at the hospital. Two days before Katrina hit on August 29, 2005, the clinic took steps to protect the embryos by topping off all its tanks with liquid nitrogen and moving them to the third floor. But Katrina's eight feet (2.5 metres) of water knocked out the electricity, and the temperature climbed. Fearing the embryos would be ruined, officials from the institute contacted a state lawmaker, who called Governor Kathleen Blanco, and on September 11, Illinois officers on loan to Louisiana set out in National Guard trucks, towing flat-bottomed boats. A flat surface was essential: The 35 and 40 litre (9.2 and 10.5 US Gallon) nitrogen tanks, which weigh 75 and 90 pounds (34 and 41 kilograms), had to stay upright. If one tipped over, the nitrogen would spill. The boats were taken through the flooded halls, and the embryos were floated out. They were taken across town to a hospital that had not flooded. The embryos, which are kept in separate labelled vials inside the tanks, were undamaged, doctors said. The Markhams were too busy during Katrina to even think about the fate of the stored embryos. Rebekah and Witt had fled to a relative's home. They did not find out about the rescue until afterward. "I had kind of prepared myself for the worst, and did a lot of praying and so when they called me it was the greatest thing and I called him and told him everything was ok," Rebekah told AP Television. The Markham's are a bit taken aback by the worldwide publicity surrounding their unborn child. "We saw online where it it is in Singapore and South Africa, UK. We did an interview with a magazine from London over the phone. So I mean its incredible to us," Rebekah said. The Markhams have not picked out a name for their second child yet. But if the baby's a girl, they have already decided her name won't be Katrina.

Bush said he has not yet finalised plans to visit the devastated Gulf Coast, but he is expected to go within days. He spoke as tens of thousands of people were evacuated on buses from the Superdome in New Orleans to the Astrodome in Houston,Texas. He expressed sympathy for those still stranded and acknowledged that thousands still need to be rescued. "what it''s like for people to be waving as sign saying ''come and get me now''," "he said. Bush brushed off criticism that he did not return to Washington from his month long stay at his Texas ranch on Tuesday, in the immediate aftermath of the hurricane, instead of Wednesday. Bush has said the recovery will take years. He said the federal government has dispatched assistance to the Gulf Coast region, including 5.4 million precooked meals, 13.4 million litres of water, more than 1,000 search and rescue personnel and the floating hospital ship USNS Comfort. It was just the first trickle of help that Washington planned to provide to Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and Florida, the president said. KEYWORD - HURRICANE KATRINA

NAME: US BUSH RADIO 20060826I TAPE: EF06/0777 IN_TIME: 11:17:43:23 DURATION: 00:01:30:22 SOURCES: AP TELEVISION DATELINE: 25 Aug 2006 RESTRICTIONS: SHOTLIST: 1. Graphic of US president George W. Bush during his radio address overlaid by UPSOUND (English) US president George W. Bush : "This Tuesday marks the first anniversary of Katrina -- one of the deadliest and most costly natural disasters in American history. In Mississippi, the storm wiped out virtually everything along an 80-mile stretch of the coast, flattening homes and destroying entire communities. In Louisiana, flooding left 80 percent of the city of New Orleans underwater. The human costs were even more terrible. More than a thousand people died, countless families lost their homes and livelihoods, and tens of thousands of men, women, and children were forced to flee the region and leave behind everything they knew. During the storm and in the days that followed, Americans responded with heroism and compassion. Coast Guard and other personnel rescued people stranded in flooded neighbourhoods and brought them to high ground. Doctors and nurses stayed behind to care for their patients, and some even went without food so their patients could eat. Many of the first-responders risking their lives to help others were victims themselves - wounded healers, with a sense of duty greater than their own suffering. And across our great land, the armies of compassion rallied to bring food and water and hope to fellow citizens who had lost everything. In these and countless other selfless acts, we saw the spirit of America at its best. Unfortunately, Katrina also revealed that federal, state, and local governments were unprepared to respond to such an extraordinary disaster. And the floodwaters exposed a deep-seated poverty that has cut people off from the opportunities of our country. So last year I made a simple pledge: the federal government would learn the lessons of Katrina, we would do what it takes, and we would stay as long as it takes to help our brothers and sisters build a new Gulf Coast where every citizen feels part of the great promise of America." STORYLINE: Ahead of next week's one year anniversary of Hurricane Katrina, US president George W. Bush said in his weekly radio address on Saturday that the government is making changes to improve response to national disasters. He added the government was also going to address the poverty exposed by the hurricane floodwaters. Bush remembered the more than one thousand people who died and the tens of thousands of people who lost their homes and livelihoods when Hurricane Katrina struck the Gulf Coast area of the USA. He paid tribute to the rescue workers and emergency services workers who worked during the clean-up saying "during the storm and in the days that followed, Americans responded with heroism and compassion. Coast Guard and other personnel rescued people stranded in flooded neighbourhoods and brought them to high ground. Doctors and nurses stayed behind to care for their patients, and some even went without food so their patients could eat." Bush reiterated his pledge to help those living in poverty in the region saying that "the federal government would learn the lessons of Katrina, we would do what it takes, and we would stay as long as it takes to help our brothers and sisters build a new Gulf Coast where every citizen feels part of the great promise of America." Bush and his wife Laura are scheduled to travel to Mississippi and Louisiana next week to meet with citizens and local officials and review progress made since the hurricane struck on 29 August, 2005.

Various of rescued dogs in back of truck STORYLINE The first street-by-street sweep of the swamped city of New Orleans got underway on Friday. Authorities officially shifted most of their attention to counting and removing the dead after spending days cajoling, persuading and all but strong-arming the living into leaving the city because of the danger of fires and disease from the fetid floodwaters. Ever since the hurricane struck on 29 August, residents, rescuers and sniffer dogs have found bodies floating in the waters, trapped in attics or left lying on broken highways. The US Army Corps of Engineers said most of the city could be drained by October 2, but some of the eastern areas of New Orleans and the hard-hit community of Chalmette, across the Mississippi River, could be underwater until October 8. The Corps had previously said it could take up to 80 days to drain New Orleans. Friday marked the first time engineers offered detailed timetables. The effort to get water out of the city, which had been 80 per cent covered following the storm and levee breaches, was helped by dry weather and gaps blown in the levies to allow floodwaters to drain out. Over the past few days, police and soldiers trying to rescue the living, marked houses where corpses were found, or noted their location with global positioning devices, so that the bodies could be collected later. Still, thousands of stubborn residents were believed to staying put in the city, and authorities continued trying to clear them out. In neighbouring St. Bernard Parish, rescue crews disinfected vehicles. Dogs caught up in the hurricane were also being washed thoroughly to avoid any spread of disease. St. Bernard Parish Sheriff Jack Stevens described the recovery operation as "massive". "I know that the heart of this community is strong but this certainly will be a test," Stevens said.

People walking in front of store STORYLINE: President Bush said Tuesday the Gulf Coast faces "trying times" -- and there''s "a lot of work to do" to recover from Hurricane Katrina. The president spoke at a San Diego naval base as he prepared to cut short his August ranch vacation because of the killer storm. Aides say Bush will spend the night in Texas but return to Washington on Wednesday to oversee the federal response to Katrina. In a speech marking the 60th anniversary of the end of World War Two, Bush said he knows Gulf Coast residents want to return to their homes. But he said that''s not possible right now. He said search and rescue operations continue, and the priority must be on saving lives. Meanwhile, rescuers in boats and helicopters searched for survivors of Hurricane Katrina, bringing victims - wet and bedraggled - to shelters as the extent of the damage became more apparent. The governor of Mississippi said the death toll in one county alone could be as high as 80. In New Orleans, a city that lies mostly below sea level, residents who chose not to evacuate faced another, delayed threat: rising water. Failed pumps and levees apparently sent water from Lake Pontchartrain coursing through the streets. In the downtown area, streets that were relatively clear in the hours after the storm were filled with 1 to 1 feet of water Tuesday morning. Water was knee-deep around the Louisiana Superdome. Canal Street was literally a canal. The rising water forced one New Orleans hospital to move patients to the Superdome, where some 10-thousand people had already taken shelter. Little islands of red ants floated in the gasoline-fouled waters through downtown. The Hyatt Hotel and other high-rise around the Superdome had rows and rows of shattered windows. Louisiana Governor Kathleen Blanco described the situation as "totally overwhelming," and said the devastation being seen Tuesday "is greater than (her) worst fears." She said 700 people were rescued overnight from flooded areas. There is no reported death toll yet in Louisiana, but the top homeland security official in New Orleans said bodies have been spotted drifting in the floodwaters. Elsewhere along the Gulf Coast, tree trunks, downed power lines and trees, and chunks of broken concrete in the streets prevented rescuers from reaching victims. Katrina''s surge also demolished major bridges along the coast. The storm swept sailboats onto city streets in Gulfport and obliterated hundreds of waterfront homes, businesses, community landmarks and condominiums. The hurricane knocked out power to more than 1 million people from Louisiana to the Florida Panhandle, and authorities said it could be two months before electricity is restored to everyone. Officials said it could be at least a week before many of the evacuees are allowed back to see what, if anything, is left of their homes. They warned people against trying to return to their homes, saying their presence would only interfere with the rescue and recovery efforts. By midday Tuesday, Katrina was downgraded to a tropical depression, with winds around 35 miles per hour. It was moving northeast through Tennessee at around 21 miles per hour.

SOUNDBITE: (English) George W. Bush, U.S. President: "Part of the reason I have come down here and part of the reason I went to Northcom was to better understand how the federal government can plan and surge equipment to mitigate natural disasters and I appreciate very much General your briefing because that is precisely the kind of information that I will take back to Washington to help all of us understand how we can do a better job in coordinating federal, state and local response. The other question of course, I asked is there a circumstance in which the Department of Defence becomes the lead agency. Clearly in the case of a terrorist case that would be the case, but is there a natural disaster which, of a certain size, would enable the Defence Department to become the lead agency in coordinating and leading the response effort. It is going to be a very important consideration for Congress to think about." 7. Close-up Bush in briefing room Baton Rouge, Louisiana 8.

Bush, U.S. President "The Governor and I just got briefed by Admiral Allen on the progress here in Louisiana. There's still assessment on the damage of Hurricane Rita. One of the things that is important for the citizens of this state to do is to listen to the Governor about when it is okay to return back to your homes." 10. Bush shakes hands with Louisiana Governor Kathleen Blanco and walks away 11. FEMA workers applaud Bush as he walks away STORYLINE: US Military officials told President Bush on Sunday that the U.S. needs a national plan to coordinate search and rescue efforts following natural disasters or terror attacks. Bush said he has been interested in whether the Defence Department should take the lead in disasters "of a certain size." He added: "It's clearly the case in a terrorist attack. It's going to be a very important consideration for Congress to think about." Bush got an update about the federal hurricane response from military leaders at Randolph Air Force Base. He heard from Lt. General Robert Clark, joint military task force commander for Hurricane Rita, and Major General John White, a task force member, who noted confusion in search and rescue operations after Hurricane Katrina. Bush thanked White for his recommendations, saying: "This is precisely the kind of information I'll take back to Washington to help all of us understand how to do a better job." Bush's comments came as residents along the Texas and Louisiana coasts began clearing up debris and power crews worked to restore power to more than 1 million customers in four states. Rita, which hit the Gulf Coast early Saturday, toppled trees, sparked fires and swamped Louisiana shoreline towns with a 15-foot storm surge that required daring boat and helicopter rescues of hundreds of people. Still, the devastation was less severe than that caused by Hurricane Katrina when it made landfall on August 29. Bush spent part of Sunday in San Antonio, where federal supplies and workers were being assembled for Rita. He then flew to Baton Rogue, Louisiana, where he met with Governor Kathleen Blanco and Coast Guard Vice Admiral Thad Allen. Speaking at the Federal Emergency Management Agency(FEMA) office in Baton Rouge,Bush said he was briefed on hurricane Rita as well as the Army Corps of Engineers' work on the levee breach at the ninth ward in New Orleans. That breach has caused flooding for two straight days, three weeks after hurricane Katrina had inundated the area.

National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Exact location unknown - 31 August 2008 33. Various satellite images of Hurricane Gustav (at 0530GMT) ++MUTE++ STORYLINE: New Orleans residents were ordered to flee an only partially rebuilt city on Saturday 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, strengthened quickly into a Category 4 and on Sunday was poised to become a Category 5 storm, packing winds in excess of 156 miles per hour (251 kilometres per hour). It slammed Cuba's tobacco-growing western tip before moving away from the island country into the Gulf of Mexico. Many residents didn't need to be ordered, with an estimated one million people fleeing the Gulf Coast on Saturday by bus, train, plane and car. They clogged roadways, emptied gas stations of fuel and jammed phone circuits. At the city's main transit terminal, a line snaked through the parking lot for more than a mile as residents with no other means of getting out waited to board buses bound for shelters in north Louisiana and beyond. Many residents said the early stage of the evacuation was more orderly than Katrina, although a plan to electronically log and track evacuees with a bar code system failed and was aborted to keep the buses moving. Officials said information on evacuees would be taken when they reached their destinations. Some began arriving on Saturday in Arkansas, where the National Guard prepared to shelter thousands for weeks. At least 15-thousand people sought refuge in the inland state in 2005, following Katrina and Rita. Traffic late on Saturday night was stop and go on the Interstate 10 highway, heading west into Houston from the Louisiana border, as Texas prepared to house up to 45-thousand evacuees, even though that state's eastern stretches were within the range of where Gustav could make landfall. New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin gave the mandatory order late Saturday, but all day residents took to buses, trains, planes and cars - clogging roadways leading away from New Orleans, still reeling three years after Hurricane Katrina flooded 80 percent of the city and killed about 1,600 across the region. The evacuation of New Orleans becomes mandatory at 8 am (1200GMT) on Sunday along the vulnerable west bank of the Mississippi River, and at noon (1700GMT) on the east bank. "The National Weather Service is saying it's the worst possible storm that they can imagine," he told a news conference. "If you are stubborn enough, if you are not taking this as seriously as we need you to take it and if you decide to stay, you are on your own," Nagin said as he issued the order. Nagin also called Gustav the storm of the century, and told residents to "get your butts out of New Orleans right now." The storm's centre moved into the Gulf of Mexico from Cuba late on Saturday and at 11 pm EDT (0300 GMT) was about 530 miles (850 kilometres) southeast of the mouth of the Mississippi River, the National Hurricane Centre in Miami said. Top winds were near 140 miles per hour (225 kilometres per hour) and likely to strengthen. Forecasters warned it was still too soon to say whether New Orleans would take another direct hit, but residents weren't taking any chances judging by the bumper-to-bumper traffic pouring from the city. Gas stations along interstate highways were running out of fuel, and phone circuits were jammed. Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal said he was pleased "to see so many people taking the evacuation order seriously". Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff planned to travel to Louisiana on Sunday to observe preparations. Also, likely Republican presidential nominee John McCain and his running mate, Alaska Governor Sarah Palin, were travelling to Mississippi on Sunday to check on people getting prepared. "I would all of us like to obviously keep in our thoughts and prayers the people in the Gulf Coast, especially in New Orleans, that are threatened by this terrible natural disaster of a hurricane," McCain said at a rally in Pennsylvania. People in Jefferson Parish, Louisiana, were busy buying material such as plywood or lumber to consolidate their homes. As part of the evacuation plan New Orleans developed after Katrina, residents who had no other way to get out of the city waited on a line that snaked for more than a mile through the parking lot of the city's main transit terminal. From there, they were boarding motor coaches bound for shelters in north Louisiana. The presence of 2-thousand National Guard troops that were expected to join 1,400 New Orleans police officers patrolling the streets following the evacuation - along with Governor Bobby Jindal's request to neighbouring states for rescue teams - suggested officials were expecting stragglers. The National Hurricane Centre issued a hurricane watch for Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana and part of Texas, meaning hurricane conditions are possible within 36 hours. Two East Texas counties also issued mandatory evacuation orders, and authorities in Mississippi, also battered by Katrina, began evacuating the mentally ill and aged from facilities along the coast. National Guard soldiers on Mississippi's coast were going door-to-door to alert thousands of families in FEMA trailers and cottages that they should be prepared to evacuate on Sunday. In Alabama, shelters were opened and 3-thousand National Guard personnel assembled to help evacuees from Mississippi and Louisiana.
