Your base of operations was fully intact, you had plenty of time to setup and get going.
A lot of local support did mobilize and work without base needs. The news liked to focus on the worst (corrupt and disgusting) areas of new orleans that really never have local organization.
NOLA is a big city, a lot of them acted and responded, but all you hear about is the ninth ward and the really corrupt sections of the city. There was a lot worse damage around the city and in the suburbs of the city that had much worse and didn't get any national guard or swift boat crews and managed to do an awesome job with the situation, so saying most is really going out there.
All I am saying is there is a reason why they kept those people as confined as possible in the convention center.
