I sure hope so...

My company has a branch in New Orleans, or, I guess at this point, should
say had a branch.

The employees are displaced, we have heard from all but one. They have no
idea where to go, or what to do next. It is so heart breaking.
Our company, has assured them, they will not miss a paycheck during this
time, they will be direct deposited for them in whatever bank they want, and
eventually, when it is possible, the branch will be re-opened or rebuilt.

The things most of us take for granted each and every day, right now, is an
outright luxury for these folks...

Simply heartbreaking...

The Australian government will donate $10 million to assist relief operations in the wake of hurricane Katrina in the United States.

Prime Minister John Howard said the money would be given to the American Red Cross and used for emergency relief carried out by the organisation.

"Given the extraordinary generosity of the United States when other countries are in need, and given the very close relationship between Australia and the United States, and given also the scale of the disaster, we believe it is a very valuable gesture and a mark of our concern for the scale of the human misery that has come from this disaster," Mr Howard said this afternoon in Hobart.

He said he had already offered to send a team of emergency specialists to the disaster area but the US was yet to accept the offer.

The money would be used to provide blankets, food parcels and "all the sorts of things that are provided to people all around the world when they're suddenly rendered destitute", Mr Howard said.


Mr Howard said he had not yet spoken to US President George W Bush but confirmed he had sent a personal note of sympathy.

"He knows from the note and from our friendship that we would be concerned but he's got plenty on his plate and frankly I'll probably talk to him at a later time," he said.

Australia joins more than 20 countries - even poor Honduras - in offering help.

Accustomed to being a rich donor rather than on the receiving end of charity, the United States initially seemed reticent about accepting foreign aid, but later said it would take up any offers.

I saw her new post and remembered the "Ping" in the subject line so searched
and found this thread.

All I know is what I posted.
No explanation found on her site as to what did or didn't happen in her
area.
