I am from new orleans, St. Bernard Parish actually... my house is destroyed (20+ feet water); but anyways... I went to DRD, been going there for the past 2 years. We got 4 days worth of takehomes', although it was a 3-4 hour wait at our clinic due to the director unexpectedly receiving a call to issue extra carries due to the impending storm...

I easily got into a clinic near Lafayette (about 1 hour from Baton Rouge); showed them my bottles and clinic ID and had no problem being dosed in under 10 minutes... although the next few days it got REALLY busy, with 100s of patients from N.O. signing up for the only clinic in the area... There were rumors in the waiting room about possibly staying open for longer hours, but none of this is confirmed as of yet...
