Missing persons Forum
WTVW has posted a link to a
missing persons site started by a
New Orleans paper. The site is so that people searching for loved ones can possibly link up. This sort of stuff seemed to work in London a while back. I may be the last to know. If you know of other sites post em in the comments and we'll move em up.
Updated : hat tip Jawa readers.
http://www.gulfcoastnews.com is establishing a list and is looking for online persons to volunteer at shelters taking names and listing them for the many people without power, computers or Internet. They are also in need of server power as their resources are greatly limited right now as well.
B4B posted this site: http://www.katrinafinder.us/ along with this info, "Dan Ford from Electric Desert has devised a database for those hoping to locate a loved one in the Katrina disaster zone, and can also be used by those living in the Katrina zone to inform their loved ones they are OK."
KatrinaHelp.info is shaping up to be a good resource, too
CNN has started a page of links as well.

When they had one of those missing persons sites in Sweden after the new years catastrophe in the Indian Ocean, the missing peoples houses got burglarised, but I don't think you'll have that problem here...
The Hurricane did more damage than I expected. Would you be insulted by the lack of trust in your countrys ability to handle it's own crisises if foreign governments offered assistance in fixing the area effected?
