* Hurricane Katrina links.

For general information about the storm and its impact, Wikipedia has a lengthy article about Hurricane Katrina. (Note: The fundraising link at the top of the article is for supporting Wikipedia, not for hurricane relief.)

Newspaper coverage from the Gulf Coast: New Orleans Times-Picayune, Biloxi SunHerald, Mobile Register. Additional news coverage via Yahoo! News and Weather.com.

In addition to the American Red Cross (1-800-HELP NOW), a number of other relief organizations are listed on the Federal Emergency Management Agency's website.

Added: About.com has a list of links for finding survivors.

Remote access to FirstSearch has been facilitated through grant funding. Funding for this grant was awarded by the Illinois State Library (ISL), a Division of the Office of Secretary of State, using funds provided by the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS), under the federal Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA).
