I'm going.

Des has told me that I am for-sure going to be deployed to a FEMA assignment some time next week. I do not have any details yet. I will post when I know.

Just one thing: it's highly unlikely that I will be anywhere near the chaos in New Orleans. I will most likely be somewhere near the oil refineries - Gulfport or somewhere. So when you read the news about the hellhole that has eruped in the Big Easy, don't worry, I'm not headed there.

Edit: Newsweek has an interesting article about the longer-term issues raised by this storm.

Hugs and Blessings... I'm so glad you're not going to NOLA. In the past, I would have local contact people available for you down there, but for obvious reasons they are not there anymore.

Hopefully by next week they will have the coast well on the way to some semblance of recovery.

Like I said, I'll send you an email with my contact information.
