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

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.
