"Unfortunately, the plane did not come in," Simkovich said. "There was a mistake in the system, coming out through FEMA, that we did not receive the aircraft this afternoon. It went to Charleston, West Virginia."
When FEMA isn't turning back volunteers and resources that may have helped, in many cases help that was asked for by local authorities that needed it, they were calling into action South Carolina health officials 30 minutes before arrival of 180 evacuees. What do you expect from leadership that confuses Louisiana as a city.
