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.

Ang - that's totally awesome of you to volunteer.

I'll miss you :)

Be safe.

I'm not volunteering. I'm going on assignment for my company. Believe me, it won't be volunteer work. I will get well-paid for my efforts.

But I'll miss you too, sweetie!
