One of the few organizations that hasn't come under attack for
being late on the scene is the Coast Guard.
It redeployed aircraft from all along the East Coast (as far as
from Cape Cod) and was in there rescuing people right away. The CG
did this while still covering its other responsibilities (and it is
an agency that is stretched thin.)
In the finest traditions of the Lifesaving Service.
