Broussard regarding his concerns of housing the residents of Grand Isle
and the Lafitte area, which includes Crown Point and Barataria. [Parish
President mentioned requesting a cruise ship]{.mark}. Division
Supervisor reiterated other housing solutions may be more viable. Begin
with using Community Relations to encouraging people to register for
FEMA assistance. Assessing damages of hotels in the area for housing
eligible FEMA applicants until repairs are completed on homes. He was
agreeable to the parish leasing generators for hotels only lacking
electricity to result in housing residents. President Broussard views
the cruise ship as ideal for the use of the neighboring coastal parishes
damaged by Hurricane Ike and plans to ask for the support of other
Parish Presidents and Mayors. A letter was sent to Governor Jindal
requesting the cruise ship and there are ships are awaiting state
inspection. Additional information is available on this issue through
the Jefferson Parish Division Supervisor.

Met with Mayor Camardelle of Grand Isle, major concern is the power
because it may not be restored to the island until 10/01/08. He noted
the majority of the homes in the area are elevated approximately 15 feet
on pilings; therefore structural damage may not be as critical as
electricity restoration. Requested assistance with registering residents
for FEMA assistance Residents will be allowed into the area tomorrow at
8am.

Met with Mayor Kerner of Lafitte, his major concerns are to house
residents as there are approximately 500 homes damaged. The residents of
this area do not have the financial resources to live away from this
area. Residents are fishermen and need to be housed near Lafitte to
support their households. He noted major concerns with returning PODs to
the Jean Lafitte area, including Barataria and Crown Point and to Grand
Isle. This area is under a boil order and residents were able to return
to the area as of noon today. Pumps are prepositioned to assist with the
dewatering of the area.

Councilmember Chris Roberts, his main concern was to get FEMA and other
aid to the constituents in his community. He would like to see residents
registered for FEMA under both Hurricane Gustav and Ike.

There was a Jefferson Parish meeting with several of the State, local
and Federal entities available for Mayor Kerner and Mayor Camardelle to
ask questions of these entities regarding assistance for the residents.
In attendance were representatives from the Jefferson Parish Council,
Senator Landrieu, Senator Vitter and Congressman Melancon's office.

soon in the area to begin registering the displaced residents. Many of
these residents were evacuated via buses and have no transportation.

    identify and restore damaged cemeteries. A fourth cemetery was

    -   Parish official that coordinated this operation after Hurricane

        contacting Congressional delegation regarding issues encountered
        in the past for costs related to re-interring remains.

    -   This issue appears to be that they are rural cemeteries located
        on private property in the 1700 -- 1800's but available to the
        public. There is no land grant or transfer of title records
        available anymore. FEMA refused to reimburse the cost of
