JACKSON, Miss. - Forty new charities have registered to solicit funds since Hurricane Katrina struck on Aug. 29, and more than a dozen have expanded their missions, Secretary of State Eric Clark says.

On the negative side, Clark said four charities have not responded to official inquiries and could be shut down.

'In the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, we probably have seen more focus on charitable giving than ever before,' Clark said Wednesday as he released his annual report on charitable organizations."
