My daughters girl scout troop would like to get in
touch with a fire dpt down in that region. We would like to put together care
packages and get them down there around christmas time. Can you help me locate a
couple of fire dpts down there to contact in the short future?

The major relief effort here in Louisiana is being done by the
American Red Cross. If you put "Katrina" on your check the monies will
only be used for hurricane relief.
At the moment in Lak Charles we now
have 2100 evacuees/refugees housed in the civic center with the number
expected to increase. Many of these people essentially have nothing to
go back to now...no homes, no jobs. If they can not fix the levee on
Lake Ponchatrain and the levee on the Mississippi, the water is only going to
get deeper in the New Orleans/jefferson Parish area. It may be months
before the water problem is oslved. Don't expect new Orleans ever to be
the same again...we can probably expect many businesses to relocate to
higher ground after this. So there will probably also be an economic
depression to hit this area as well. So I urge those of you that
can to be generous...the southeast Louisiana, south Mississippi and
south Alabama areas are really hurting at the moment and need your
help!!
