<p align="left"><b style="FONT-SIZE: 14px">NEW ORLEANS, Louisiana (CNN) -- The first of New
Orleans' evacuees began arriving in Texas early Thursday as the Gulf Coast began
to grasp the magnitude of what President Bush called "one of the worst
natural disasters in our nation's history."</b></p>
<p align="left">Hurricane Katrina and its aftermath damaged beyond repair tens of thousands
of homes and businesses in the region and left more than 78,000 people in
emergency shelters, the president said.</p>
<p align="left">Bush announced a massive federal mobilization to help victims, warning that
"the challenges that we face on the ground are unprecedented." </p>
<p align="left">"This recovery will take years," Bush said in an address from the
White House Rose Garden, hours after viewing parts of the Gulf Coast from aboard
Air Force One. </p>
<p align="left">The Bush administration<b> </b>earlier in the day declared a public health
emergency for the entire Gulf Coast in an effort to stop the spread of disease
in<b> </b>the storm's wake. </p>
<p align="left">"We are gravely concerned about the potential for cholera, typhoid and
dehydrating diseases," Health and Human Services Secretary Mike Leavitt
said. </p>
<p align="left">Meanwhile, New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin reportedly said Wednesday that the
storm probably killed thousands of people in his battered and flood-stricken
city.</p>
<p align="left">"We know there is a significant number of dead bodies in the
water," and others dead in attics, The Associated Press quoted Nagin as
saying. When asked how many, he reportedly said: "Minimum, hundreds. Most
likely, thousands."</p>
<p align="left">Nagin and other Louisiana officials had refused to give a casualty count in
the past, saying emergency workers were focusing on the rescue effort.</p>
<p align="left">Rescue workers continued to push bodies aside Wednesday as they used boats
and helicopters to search for survivors. Their efforts have been hampered by
lawlessness and damaged infrastructure.</p>
<p align="left">Electricity was out for more than 2.3 million people in Mississippi,
Louisiana, Alabama and Florida.</p>
<p align="left">Meanwhile, Katrina's effect on oil supplies and gas prices spread nationwide,
prompting the White House to tap the U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve.</p>
<p align="left">News of disruptions in the gas supply sparked runs on stations and a sharp
spike in prices, with some drivers in Atlanta, Georgia, facing prices above $5
per gallon. </p>
<p align="left">Pentagon officials said Wednesday the governors of Louisiana and Mississippi
have ordered the mobilization of an additional 10,000 National Guard troops to
provide security and help with hurricane relief. (</p>
<p align="left">Federal officials asked for patience as residents of the affected areas
expressing frustration with the government's response.</p>
<p align="left">"I need the American people to recognize how catastrophic this is, to be
patient and to work with us," said Michael Brown, the Federal Emergency
Management Agency chief who is leading the federal response on the ground.</p>

<h3 align="left">Mississippi seeks help</h3>
<p align="left">In Mississippi on Wednesday, an emergency official told CNN that as many as
110 people were killed in the storm, and that toll was expected to climb.</p>
<p align="left">Harrison County Coroner Gary Hargrove said crews had been unable to reach
half of the community. </p>
<p align="left">"It may take several days and maybe even weeks to get to because we're
talking about major buildings ... collapsing and just what we call 'pancaking,'
" he told reporters at a news conference.</p>
<p align="left">Hargrove also discounted reports from Tuesday that 30 people had been killed
in one beachfront apartment complex, saying it wasn't true.</p>
<p align="left">Coroners across the state have so far confirmed only 13 dead, according to
the Mississippi Emergency Management Agency.</p>
<p align="left">Those who left their homes should stay away, said the agency's public
information officer, Brad Mayo.</p>
<p align="left">"We cannot stress enough not to go back," he said. "It will be
an extremely long time before people can start going back to their homes."</p>
<p align="left">In the small town of Pass Christian in Harrison County, most of the homes
were destroyed, and the bridge linking the town to Bay St. Louis is gone.</p>
<p align="left">To the east, the tiny city of Long Beach was mostly razed by Katrina's storm
surge and high winds.</p>
<p align="left">In Gulfport, backhoes and dump trucks ventured onto the streets Wednesday to
begin clearing roads of debris.</p>
<p align="left">In the hardest-hit areas in Hancock, Harrison and Jackson counties, emergency
officials are setting up hospitals in tents and portable structures.</p>
<p align="left">Mayo said the state is asking for doctors, nurses and emergency medical
technicians from neighboring states for their help.</p>
<p align="left">Katrina left Biloxi's Keesler Air Force Base -- home to the U.S. Air Force
fleet of hurricane-hunter aircraft -- 95 percent "smashed," an Air
Force official at the base said Wednesday.</p>
