RDW, The more critical hospital patients are being airlifted, probably 6 to 8 at a time, to hospitals in Houston, Baton Rouge, and other places suitable to their medical needs.

A Navy hospital ship, the Comfort, is due to set sail for the Gulf of Mexico.

Other military ships, suitable for housing people safely, are also on the way. - Holly
