FEMA has a site that list a number of important links and resources for those areas of the Gulf affected by Hurricane Katrina.   You can reach the FEMA links by clicking to HERE.

The following groups are connecting people to help others in the Gulf Area affected by Hurricane Katrina

Common Ground’s mission is to provide short term relief for victims of hurricane disasters in the gulf coast region, and long term support in rebuilding the communities affected in the New Orleans area.

I noticed this documentary while at tsroadmap.  This looks very interesting, hopefully HBO will do a good job of showing a balanced view.

Merry Christmas! Don’t forget to drop a little Christmas gift in the form of a donation off to Network La Red, or for the rebuilding of the Gulf Coast of the U.S. (Katrina Hurricane Relief - see links in my about page Katrina Hurricane Disaster Category), or for the Pakistan Earthquake relief.
