I did track down where one other person said the same thing, It turns out that one of the first search and rescue teams was turned away because of a bureaucratic mixup. Once they got that straightened out, it appears that they're letting them all in again.
There seems to be a good deal of bureaucratic mixups going on in this case. Lots of stuffed suits that don't want to be the one who didn't follow the rules and let something bad happen, so they fail to let something good happen. One teenager actually hotwired a schoolbus and took a busload of trapped people to the astrodome. The bureaucrats there turned him away because he wasn't on their schedule. Guess I shouldn't expect better.
