In the aftermath of Katrina, the Better Business Bureau urges the public to exercise caution when responding to charity appeals to assist those stricken by the disaster.

'Emotional appeals to assist disaster victims are common in the wake of any tragedy. While most charities are operating honestly, scam artists will use a natural disaster as an opportunity to take advantage of American generosity,' said Kevin J. Sanders, executive vice president of the BBB Serving Eastern MA, ME and VT."
