New Orleans Missing
New!

August 31, 2005,

Working with a Volunteer, "JJ", who offered to help, we want to build a
"Contact Page" for the friends and family of people in New Orleans who
have "not reported in" yet.

Our goal is simple, as "JJ" said, "I'm glad to do something active to
help."

Watching the images and reading the story of Katrina, one feels it is
important to reach out and help our fellow man, it is, afterall, what
humanity is all about.

Please send your requests to NOLA Missing/"JJ" who will then convert
them to an Excel file which will be posted here.

We won't be able to post pictures, the work and bandwith would be too
much

Thanks, and God Bless

"JJ" and James

Added Resources for People looking for Help Finding Family

The American Red Cross: 866-438-4636;

1 800-help-now, 225-293-1889, 225-295-0104
Someone posted about the 866-438-4636 #, which has been circulating a
good bit on this forum. They finally got through to someone and were
told that the Red Cross will compile a list of survivors they have
processed AFTER search and rescue operations are finished, and that no
information was available now. I have not contacted anyone using the
other #s.

Websites

Gulf Coast News -this is another database where you can post the
names of people you are looking for.

Hurricane Katrina Help Site

A Contact list of missing and found people. You can also email Karmus
Alpha to receive an email back with the list.

Travel The Nation (dot)com They have a list of missing people that you
can add to in hopes that someone will get back to you. If you want to
add a name to the list, please email a short statement listing the
names (LAST NAMES FIRST please, so they can list them in alphabetical
order), ages, and township of residence of the person(s) you would be
seeking. Also include a short message of 6 or less sentences.

Gwid (dot) com Another database of missing people.

Survived Katrina Blog Site

CNN Site; A place for people to report in that they are safe.

Blog for survivors

1-800-323-7233: Telephone Number for the Louisiana Coast Guard:
Louisiana Coast Guard. You can call and give them the name and location
of people who need rescuing.

Here are a bunch of numbers you can call to report people you believe
are stranded and need to be rescued:

225-925-6626 (Office of Emergency Preparedness)

Additional Telephone: (People have gotten through on these numbers),
225-925-7708, 225-925-7709, 225-925-3511, 225-925-7412, 225-922-1278,
225-925-7428, 504-658-8700, 225-389-2000, 1 800-438-4636, 1 800-help
now, 225-293-1889, 225-295-0104, and 318-443-2565

It is difficult to get through; be persistent.

There is also one "LAST RESORT EMERGENCY RESCUE SITUATION NUMBER" for
use "if someone is ON A ROOF, in JEPAORDY and in need of IMMEDIATE
RESCUE or MEDICAL TREATMENT." It is 225-342-7015.

Please be ready to provide the following: exact address, cross street,
people's names, number of people, medical/physical condition of people,
environmental condition of their location (flood waters etc.)

Be calm, patient and polite, remember the person answering that
telephone call is probably stressed, over-worked and tired too.
