We've already made preparations to provide 500,000 hot meals a day.

We try to take care of immediate needs. We give them what we call comfort kits, which have basic items they'll need like a toothbrush, toothpaste, deodorant, combs and towels.

We're so proud of them. They are really a dedicated and wonderful group of people and my heart is with them. This is the largest event that the Red Cross has indicated that it has ever dealt with in its history.

We are not going to allow day cuts without a way to put days back in if they have the money.

But this carte blanche on day cuts could go up to 15 days ? according to what they have in their contract.

Life's but a day at most.
