Don't it make your blown roof blue

Several days ago, Louisianians in the Hurricane Katrina zone were told they could get blue tarps by calling FEMA's Blue Roof program. The problem was that there were only three application offices, and they were not only miles and miles and miles away from most homeowners, but they were also inaccessible to many people because of closed highways.

A couple of days ago, FEMA added more Blue Roof offices. However, some people were told they had to go to Mississippi to get their tarps. Others have no transportation. They are being told they have to provide a signature by faxing it to a FEMA office. Most people do not have fax machines in their houses or even within walking distance. They may have an option of mailing the signature--I don't know--but when you have holes in your roof, time is kind of important.
