Are there any websites being set up for those lost/missing from the hurricane?
Thanks. I know 30 people in NO and have discovered the whereabouts of justOlivia77 said:http://www.wwltv.com
On the front page there are two links, one to let people know you're okay, the other to find the missing.

As a Canadian, I wanted to know what assistance our government was going to extend to the people of the United States. Prime Minister Paul Martin issued a formal statement extending sympathy and promising aid and support where needed. Our Deputy Prime Minister subsequently contacted Michael Chertoff, the U.S. Homeland Security Secretary, and informed him that Canada is ready to extend and provide any assistance needed (working with their partners in provincial and territorial governments). Following this offer the U.S. Department of Health and Services is now communicating with the Deputy PM of what varied services and aid Canada can provide.
Indicating Canada's wish to help our American neighbors, the Deputy Prime Minister was quoted as saying, "The United States has a long and proud history of assisting other countries in times of crisis, and we now stand ready to help them in their time of need."

I just donated $100.00 and it was the easiest $100.00 I have ever parted with. My thoughts and prayers are with all who have suffered because of this horrible tragedy. I apologise if I have gone on too long! Thanks.

Thanks. I have since heard of the wherabouts of two more friends. One has been evaced out to the Cajun Dome in Lafayette, while his 85 year old mother is in a medical facility in Baton Rouge. Apparently they survived by clinging to the outside of the house instead of climbing into the attic. I had assumed they were dead, to be honest.Olivia77 said:BillyGoatGruff ~ You're welcome. New Orleans is a city I hold near and dear to my heart and I am so sorry to hear you have friends who are missing. I have met wonderful people there as well, became engaged there and am absolutely horrified at the devastation. I remember reading a bunch of posts from you about the city of New Orleans on another Missing Person's thread a while back, so when this happened I was thinking of you, I'm terribly sorry to hear you had so many close friends affected by this tragedy and I hope that you are soon able to locate them all and confirm their well being. Please keep us updated. I will keep you and yours in my thoughts.
mysteriew~ I'm glad I could help. Thank you for your posts as well - I'm often able to find great info from the links you post in other threads, I do appreciate it. :blowkiss:
To the missing and families of the missing in New Orleans, you are in my thoughts and a candle burns brightly in my home with hope for a positive outcome.
