As the damage, lives, and missing the rest are calculated victims of Hurricane Katrina are asking what they can do to help and how they can be helped in their distress. The American Red Cross is helping as much as can and collecting funds to increase their ability to help the victims.
Federal aid has been implemented as well, to help victims and their families back on their feet. FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency) is now helping in Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and South Florida. With this additional aid supplies needed for many of the people of the area will be provided, as well as the necessary funds to prepare for reconstruction.
Many people have also mobilized to help those in need, both missing people and fixing damages. Searches are under way across Louisiana and Mississippi to find missing persons under the rubble and destruction that was left behind the path of Katrina.
Hopefully with all the help the people of these states are receiving will quickly be able to return to their daily lives. But for now the victims of Hurricane Katrina still need help in many ways and wonder where to go for help and found a group of local websites as www.mylouisiana.us www.mymississippi.us and be great help to search for information at the state level. At a more local level and have found www.myneworleansla.us www.myjacksonms.us. These sites offer hope and information for these devastated people. The forum created by the webmaster to provide information for victims in an organized manner. As a way to ask questions about what is being done in their local areas in terms of rebuilding and finding lost loved ones. And a smaller but still important aspect, giving victims a place to tell their stories as a way to help them cope with their losses and move on with their lives.
There are several ways to help including donating to the fund Red Cross www.redcross.org and also helping more directly by volunteering time to help. Another way to help these people directly if you have a lot of time you can visit my U.S. Network sites and give these people hope and information in the forums.
