CNN.com - Mayors fault FEMA response - Sep 11, 2005:

"BILOXI, Mississippi (CNN) -- Almost two weeks after Hurricane Katrina ravaged the Gulf Coast, some of the cities hardest hit by the storm are waiting for more help.

'Clearly the FEMA response has been slow,' Matthew Avara, mayor of Pascagoula, Mississippi, told CNN Saturday night.

'We got a lot of good people on the ground here that are with FEMA and with the state agencies,' he said. 'They wear their badges, and they look good. But unfortunately, we just not have seen all the assets and all the resources that we need in our city.'

Slidell, Louisiana, Mayor Ben Morris also slammed FEMA Saturday, saying when the storm hit, 'everything we did was on our own.'
