Although I heartily endorse the spirit and intent of your post, you should be aware that the Red Cross is precluded from providing relief in New Orleans proper.

I mention this because it is important to underscore the unbelievable incompetence being brought to this disaster by this government.

The guy running FEMA is a former republican operative, who was fired from his last private sector job, because he made a mess of running horse shows.

He kept the Red Cross out of New Orleans, when they wanted to come in an deliver food, because he said that would encourage them to stay. He was trying to make them walk out, by starving them while the National Guard had orders to prevent them from leaving.

The Red Cross has an explanation on their web site about why they were not allowed to deliver food they had on trucks to New Orleans.
