People that were evacuated from New Orleans only days ago were allowed to come back today. The mayor announced that residents were allowed in if they could show identification showing that they were truly were residents of the New Orleans area. They are letting residents come back even though Louisiana officials are saying that it is too soon to return to the area. If residents do choose to come back, they will have very few resources. Some that have already come back are spending hours looking for a working gas station. Even though there are some gas stations open they do not believe that their supplies will last long.

With all of the problems surrounding the return of evacuees, why risk their safety and let them come back? Most of the city doesn't have electricity which means that they do not have the means to return. They don't have resources, so why take a chance and let the residents return?
