IMPORTANT!! Search Engine Traffic
I am getting thousands of hits from people searching for "Katrina and Housing." In many instances they are searching for specific locations. The results they are getting don’t appear to be very helpful!
I am actually UNHAPPY my site is coming up in the top ranking in many instances. I am just a guy sitting in my home office. I can’t even begin to keep up. So PLEASE try this workaround to get the information you are looking for:
1. Go to Google News and do a search for Katrina and refugees and the state or city you are looking for. This should pull news reports that will contain specific information like the location and the name of center where the people are being moved.
2. Then go to any Zip Code locator on the Internet and type in the town and state.
3. Then go to this Red Cross page and enter the zip code. You’ll get contact information for the local chapter that should be helping in the efforts.
Please email me or leave a comment if you gather this information on any location.
There are many sites and thousands of people offering up their homes. Links to a few are below. I would prefer not to post others, because things are getting fragmented. SOMEBODY HAS GOT TO GET THESE SITES COMPLIED INTO ONE DATABASE NOW!
NOLA Forums
Maybe the largest site I’ve found to date. It is tough to navigate, but
a wealth of information. They also verify your email to post
Hurricane Housing
A site put together by MoveOn.org. The search functionality is robust. For those of you looking for other people in your area, pool your resources, search by your Zip code.
Katrina Housing
Created
and organized by a tech company. I don’t have much information on them,
but they are trying like we all are. Click the "Printable Lists" link
on the lefthand side and choose the state.
Share Your Home
An organized site with verification of your email to post. Very profession. You can learn more about the background here.
There are other resources of course, but I have not had time to
review them. Please post any other URLs or suggestions in the comment
section.
