The damage to New Orleans and the coastal areas from Hurricane Katrina is horrific. And unfortunately, this looks to be just the start of problems to come. The contaminated water and food supply is a potential breeding ground for all sorts of disease and infection.
I visited New Orleans a few years ago for a conference. The city didn't seem very rich economically, but it possessed a distinctive culture and identity - more than you can say for many other cities. With time, the city will recover and rebuild. Earlier today I went to redcross.org and made a small donation. Every little bit helps, and the hurricane victims need all the help they can get right now.
