That article was pretty early on, so I doubt anyone had gotten to their
location yet.
From how I interpreted what was said, was the locality already had some
kind of wireless communications system in place and fema disconnected
their system and turned their on.
When the feds show up, they take control and that's the way it is.

John S,
I think the program was hosted by Stone Phyillips on ABC around 8:00.
Not sure exactly.
Like George said, it wasn't the first time I saw the footage, just the
first time I caught the comment about the FEMA antenna.
The coverage was about complaining what a horrible job FEMA was doing
from a slow response perspective.
Note: To make sure my last EMail was clear... What was reported was...
The Parish's communications went down, then Parish head learned it was
because FEMA disconnected the Parish's antenna without telling them, so
FEMA could install their own new antenna for their own purposes, which
was indicated by the big FEMA sticker on the antenna. WISPA's efforts
have been to install communications for the Parish's use. My couriosity
was wether this project was one WISPA or MAC was involved with. Meaning
the one that got disconnected or installed. I was changing a diaper at
the time, and missed the details of what the original antenna was and
who installed by, if it was disclosed. WISPs were not mentioned
anywhere in the news report, from what I heard.
