New Orleans Rescue Information Group

nolarescue was formed yesterday for the purpose of helping in any way possible the victims of Katrina. If you have information, need information, want to post about someone you are searching for, or post about someone you know to be safe, you can post it there. If you are able to donate goods, services (medical, transportation, pet boarding, etc), or any kind of help whatsoever, you can contact those with internet access who are close to the area by posting there. Also, please share the link with your friend list.

I recommend reading these links from the American Red Cross site:

About Donating Goods to the Red Cross for Areas Impacted by Hurricane Katrina (http://www.redcross.org/article/0,1072,0_312_4498,00.html)
Guide to Appropriate Giving (http://www.interaction.org/disaster/guide_giving.html)

I gave through the UUA link you posted in the nolarescue community. I'm not even UU, but it seemed an excellent option since they're directly involved with running shelters there.

Wow, cool. :) Thank you! (I work at UUSC.)
