ADDITIONAL HURRICANE-RELATED LINKS

Here are a few links related to Hurricane Katrina relief and Hurricanes in general that you might find helpful:

Craig's List -- Information for hurricane survivors, for how to volunteer, and for those who can help house or provide supplies for refugees.

Stormtrack Blog -- Excellent site with information on the current state of conditions in LA, MS, and AL as well as information on other storms currently occurring.

United Methodist Committee on Relief (UMCOR) -- The United Methodist relief agency who responds to disasters on behalf of the denomination. You can help by making donations, sending supplies, or offering assistance in addition to prayers.

American Red Cross -- Everyone knows them. You probably have a local office in your town. Give money. Give blood. Give supplies.

Operation Blessing -- A charitable organization that gives over 99.2% of its donations directly to relief effort for disasters and for taking care of children and the poor (how many churches could make the same claim?)

Salvation Army -- We all know the bellringers at Christmas, but the Salvation Army is always one of the first on site.

Southern Baptist Disaster Relief -- Third largest disaster relief organization in the U.S. They are already on site and I have seen pictures of them feeding and ministering to Katrina's victims.
