This is a great cause and it’ll be good to see everyone grouping together to help out. I have fairly good web design skills so will look into contributing when I am at home. Thanks for posting this.

While I appreciate anyone who is willing to help others as a good thing, I sure do wish that organizations and groups such as this would recognize the areas that were actually hit by Hurricane Katrina rather than just the areas that were just hit by government ineptitude such as New Orleans.

In Bay St. Louis, Waveland, Pass Christian, Long Beach, Gulfport, Biloxi, Ocean Springs and countless other areas here on the Mississippi gulf coast, there are complete cities leveled, entire neighborhoods removed from the map, infrastructure that will take years to be rebuilt. People that were not able to be re-located to other cities and are having to live on their vacant lots and empty slabs, homeless.

I would never want to take help away from others and that is not why I am writing this. I just wanted to illustrate that are countless others who are not getting help, and have not been nearly as visible in the national Katrina help efforts as New Orleans and the 9th Ward have been.

That said, thanks Jeffrey, for bringing light to these efforts regardless, I know they are much appreciated.

I’d like to help out, unfortunately the site is down.

See, they really do need our help!

(I’ve written to my Katrina Corps contact to inform him of the problem.)

[...] the fact that much of New Orleans and surrounding parishes are still struggling to recover from this year old disaster speaks more about those in power not giving a damn and loving red tape more than the people they are suppose to represent.

This sounds like a very interesting project for our web & interactive design students. I’ve sent on information to the contact person. It’s definitely a worthy cause!
Thanks for sharing…
