With this hurricane coinciding with the Covid-19 pandemic, it's even more important to not strain recovery efforts, former FEMA Administrator Craig Fugate said. "Hospitals are already overwhelmed with Covid. The last thing they need is more heat exhaustion or trauma or recovery," Fugate said. "As much as possible, if you're not there, stay away from that area. Until you really get power up and water systems, this is not going to be a good place to get back to quickly. Another reason to stay away from the hardest-hit areas if you can: Water and sewer outages can make life miserable or even dangerous. In addition to searing summer heat, some places will have "no flushing toilets (and) no drinking water, unless you get it out of a bottle from somebody," Honoré said. "Most water is moved by electricity as well as the sewage system. So without electricity, you can't move sewage and you can't clean drinking water." If available, chemical toilets may be placed on street corners and emptied by municipal workers." In some cases, generators can help power water and sewer systems until electricity is fully restored. The power company Entergy said Tuesday it was "working with the New Orleans Sewage and Water Board and offered back-up generation, in addition to their own back-up generation sources." But officials are asking residents to help reduce stress on the sewer systems. "In order to prevent sewage backups, we have asked residents to limit water usage at home, thus decreasing the amount of wastewater we must pump and treat," the Sewerage. At this time, the only way to remove sewage is to utilize vacuum trucks to remove sewage from manholes throughout the area. Again, we ask you to please be mindful of your water usage.
