Hurricane Katrina

Our thoughts go to the victims of Hurricane Katrina.

How to help: you can find worthy organizations to donate to here and here.
.Launched by Saguaro member Paul Resnick, there is an Interesting and nice graphical interface to help connect Katrina refugees with offers of private housing at katrinahousing.net (click on 'try searching our map').
.there is also a good integrated site with resources for those who want to help (including site that enables people to connect with lost friends, relatives).

Civic implications: - There have been interesting pieces about the civic implication of Hurricane Katrina including:
. Thomas Friedman’s “Osama and Katrina”"
