Our two new young friends, Pierce and Zon, drove down from Madison, Wis., to do what they can to help with the disaster. Right now, they’re helping the JFP with our KatrinaBlog and getting us hooked up with the Indy Media network, as well as interviewing and photographing evacuees around the city. See this gallery of notices posted in the Coliseum of people who are trying to find loved ones that they just uploaded into the JFP galleries. (If one is hard to read, try the Zoom In button.) Thanks, guys.

I haven’t read thru all of your posts but moveon.org has set up a housing network to find temporary homes, jobs & sanctuary for folks in need. Maybe spaces could be set up with computers to allow access to this information. http://www.hurricanehousing.org/

miekal, Thanks much. We actually have a link to the Moveon’s housing site. That looks like great work. Cheers. However, I have been wondering if the evacuees have access to the Internet somewhere to check in with folks and such. I’ll have to see if anyone has, or will, set up free Internet stations somewhere for them here in Jackson. Does anyone know?

The Ali is back in bidness. FINALLY. The best I have is the computer co-op…I’ve run into numerous NO people standing in the Rainbow using the co-op to look for jobs.

Selected information could also be printed out every few days as the listings change & copies made available in rescue hotspots. This would accomplish two things, it would give folks hope & an idea that there is actually somewhere they could go, that there are people who care & are extending their homes for such use & if they know which place they want to contact it would speed up their time on the computer.
