hurricane resources

the librarians index to the internet has a collection of sites with information about hurricane katrina here: http://lii.org/search?query=hurricanekatrina

this blog is acting as a clearing house for information about the aftermath of the hurricane, including photographs: http://katrina05.blogspot.com/

the person running that blog also put out a request for people in the immediate area of the affected areas to upload photographs of people in the shelters to flickr just in case they're missing and someone's trying to find them: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Net-Gold/message/7944

wikipedia has an incredibly in-depth entry about the hurricane here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hurricane_Katrina

and of course, the red cross is collection donations for disaster relief: http://www.redcross.org/

this morning gas prices are incredible, but here in the northeast we're warm and dry. new orleans has turned into a post-apocalyptic nightmare. if you're in any position to help, including being able to disseminate information, i say do it.
