Hurricane Katrina links

In light of the devastation recently caused (and still being caused) by Hurricane Katherine...

IS EVERYONE WHO LIVES IN THE NEW ORLEANS AREA ALRIGHT? *frets*

The city's levees have broken and there is very real danger from disease, and lack of food, clean water, and medical care. So I am putting some links up for anyone who wants to know more info. or to help out, or both.

I am taking these from my city newspaper, The Sacramento Bee. I have visited the links and they all go where they say they should, but make sure to click safely and be careful about where you are sending money or info.
