UPI reports FEMA provided USA Today data on the locations of evacuees from Hurricane Katrina. The paper published a map of the 18,700 ZIP Codes represented on Sept. 29 and many are looking for updates a full month later. At least three relief groups, who also want the data to help support those evacuees, claim they’ve not had access. US agencies including the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp have not received the data either. I guess FEMA has to work on other matters besides just the first response.
