What can we DUers do to help in the aftermath of Katrina?
Open to ideas. This looks to be bad (and not just in NO) with some long term affects on a large group of people.

So fire up the brainstorm machine and let's get the ideas rolling!

4. Wait for the posts to attack the Salvation Army now.
I posted a message suggesting donations to the Red Cross, and some people said they wouldn't because their CEO earned too much money, they charged for coffee at another disaster, etc. Brother!

3. Start a network
of people who are in the area (or return to the area after the storm) who will report here to tell us the most effective way we can help.

5. Send money to the red cross. Professionals are the best way. Red
cross has many volunteers. They have training and can McGuiver logistics out of every last cent.
