Has anyone contacted FEMA with any offerings of wireless help for the
camps? Does anyone know how to make this happen?

Hmm, maybe we can't really help too much in the afflicted
areas...but what
about the likely event the FEMA / Red Cross set up "Tent Cities" and
temporary refuge camps? All of these people have to go somewhere
and from
what I have been reading, I don't think that they're going to
lodge in a
hotel somewhere for a few months.
If anyone knows if there are any plans with Tent Cities...they're
perfect
candidates for some wireless help.

There is no one to serve internet to in New Orleans but FEMA and
the work crews and I am sure that the Feds have satellite set up.
New Orleans has been issued orders for COMPLETE evacuation. They
are moving all the folks out of the shelters to higher ground
(refugee camps) North of New Orleans City limits. It will be many
months before anyone will be allowed back into New Orleans. Water
is still pouring into town as we speak due to levee breaches and
is expected to have 9' of water downtown before it quits coming
across the levee. A soup bowl cant hold but so much soup.
