Katrina - relief efforts

Thursday, September 1st, 2005

We've all seen the images of the devastation wreaked by Hurricane Katrina this week. I'm glad all my friends in the affected areas are safe, but there are countless people who aren't, or whose homes and livelihoods have been eradicated by this disaster.

Some ways to help:

My pals at blogging.la have a post up with links to relief effort sites.

Channel 4 WWL in New Orleans has information about the disaster and relief efforts.

If you're into poker, my friend Wil has, through the help of PokerStars, set up a couple of tournaments, and the buy-ins will benefit the victims of Hurricane Katrina. Since that post, there's been so much interest that two more charity tourneys have been set up.

More information on donations and help can be found at the Red Cross and FEMA websites. My thoughts are with all of those affected by this tragic event.
