DUers Katrina Research Thread: Organized by categories
I am starting this thread to organize information about hurricane Katrina. Please please please help keep this site organized. We need a place where people can find information fast. Here is the design. First I will establish categories as replies to the original post. Each of these will be like a folder. If you have links to articles please put them in the right folder-reply-post. The folder-reply-category-posts will have names such as the following:

Before K: Info about the likely consequences Scientific articles
Befork K: Info about likely consequences madia articles
Before K: What the Government knew
Just before K: Weather and news alerts
Just before K: Govt action..city, state, fed
Before K: FEMA
During K: FEMA
After K: FEMA

If you add any information to these categories, please format the information as follows:

subject line: date first, title of article

message area: link to the article(that has been refreshed), brief description of the article or post from it so that someone can immediately figure out what it is about.

Please use this thread only to organize material into categories. If you do not see your category already listed, please only add new categories if you use the format listed above: pre- K, during K, and after K. Tomorrow we will start a new category called after September 8.

Please also do NOT use this thread to post replies, comments, or request for information.

Thanks for your understanding and patience while I get this organized. If you want to help in this endeavor, I would love to have your support. I am no Lone Ranger and could use help getting this organized. If you can help, please PM me and I will get back to you as soon as possible.

Thanks so much

PS, if you could reccommend this thread, it would be helpful. Also, if you can forward this PM to peolpe you think could develop this thread in an orderly manner, I would appreciate it...Thanks
