On Jim Lehrer's News Hour, the correspondent there said that in all the areas he has seen, no one is in charge- that people are being told to go over 'there' for help and when they get there, they are told that no, this is not the place and they can't imagine why someone told them it was. He said it is strictly an ad hoc operation, that the ones who are trying to help are just totally overwhelmed.

He said that he has seen some National Guards but they are directing traffic and acting as security - he said that there has been less looting today because of it - but he has seen very few of them.
