From The Chronicle: Updates on Storm-Related Relief Efforts
As disaster-relief groups prepare for hurricanes and tropical storms that could reach U.S. coastal areas next week, many are concerned that donations will fall far short of the cost of relief operations, based on anemic contributions so far, The Chronicle of Philanthropy reports.
Meanwhile, relief workers in the most-damaged parts of Southern Louisiana say the need for food and shelter there could stretch on for weeks after Hurricane Gustav, and some residents are being told to expect no electricity until October.

I live in this hard-hit damaged part of Southern LA.. we still have no power, but have been told that they estimate power to be restored a week earlier than originally thought. We are living out of an ice chest in a dark, damaged home and we’re one of the lucky ones!
