Louisiana activated 300 National Guard personnel to clear roads and provide security and engineering support. They joined firefighters and others searching multiple structures to make sure no one had been left behind, said John Rahaim Jr., the parish's homeland security director.
“They’re searching everything, going door to door,” Rahaimsaid.
Arabi, just east of the city’s Lower 9th Ward, was wrecked by Hurricane Katrina in 2005, and hit hard again when Hurricane Ida swept through last year.

I remember the area well after working Katrina. It was actually the only deployment I was on where I carried a rifle and ammo while on duty. Lots of bad stuff going on at that time. Then came Ida, Gustav, Dolly, etc. Lots of good and bad memories.

CMSgt Marcus Falleaf the National Disaster response is much closer to how the Guard was envisioned to be engaged imo, than as a border detail because we haven't done our job down there.
