[sociate] Help after Katrina: ThinkNOLA

The Wikipedia page titled
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Effect_of_Hurricane_Katrina_on_New_Orleans>
Effect of Katrina on New Orleans is, as I expected after my experience with
its  <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Severe_Acute_Respiratory_Syndrome> SARS
page, an amazing resource.

But the scope of the Wikipedia doesn't really include details of
neighborhood-by-neighborhood assessment and reconstruction efforts, and all
the other sorts of mending activities that need to happen.

My always-thoughtful friend  <http://vielmetti.typepad.com/> Ed has been
involved in an effort to collect and organize such resources on a wiki named
<http://www.thinknola.com/> ThinkNOLA. Please head on over and take a look.
And if you have a bright idea of how those volunteers might help people
reconnect with lost loved ones, or meet other challenges, throw it in. Every
effort helps.

Here's the Red Cross  <https://give.redcross.org/?hurricanemasthead>
donation page.
