Hurricane Katrina
First, send cash. Don’t send clothing or food; there is little infrastructure in place to transport or distribute it.
If you work for a company, your employer may match any contributions you make. Some employers are matching on a 4:1 basis. Check with your Human Resources office.
Don’t go to the area as a free-lance volunteer. If you are interested in volunteering directly, offer your services to one of the organizations listed below.
The Red Cross, which made some mistakes during 9/11, seems to be doing a good job now. Cash contributions to the Red Cross are immediately turned into debit cards and given to hurricane victims to buy the things they need.

The Salvation Army is universally respected for its work during hurricanes. They are accepting cash and volunteer services.
