3:53 P.M. - (AP) The stress is getting to some police and firefighters in New Orleans, where the mayor says there have been cases of suicide. Mayor Ray Nagin says he's trying to find hospitals that can offer physical and psychological help to the emergency workers. Nagin says for days now, they've been holding the city together pretty much by themselves, and the toll is just too much for them.

Efforts are also underway to reunite some of those workers with their families. The question is where to do it? According to Nagin, they're looking for a city like Las Vegas that has lots of hotel rooms.
