Sept 4 Picayune:copied from sprasad blogsite-worth repeating

copied from sprasad- Dr Prasad, thank you for your site. I hope to meet you sometime soon.
quoted from Mary, posting good advice for return to Picayune or any other disaster site:

"Only advice I can give you is this.

Bring your OWN supplies for food, water and gas. (especially enough gas to get yourself back home... it is in short supply.) Depending on how long you are planning to stay in area, a tent may not be a bad idea either. Plan to be HOT and sweaty... Oh, also tarps and rope. SAFE water.

Essentially, don't plan on having it (or being able to get it), unless you bring it with you. Even if they DO have it down there, the locals stuck there have a greater need of it than you.

Also, bring battery operated fans (if you can find them) with enough batteriers to run them."

"..lost everything. Her writing partner jumped into action and with the team at DVA put together a new resource for Hurricane Katrina
victims that you should know about. It is called LIFE LIST, and more info
can be found at www.lifelist.us
We know that many are desperate to communicate with loved ones, and that access to phone service is limited. Several mobile companies are offering free service areas, and many shelters and churches are providing limited
phone time. However, neither of these scenarios provide people with the time
and access needed to reach out for help in any detail.
So yesterday we devised a plan, and went into action. LIFE LIST was born,
and it has quickly and quietly caught on.
With one toll-free call to LIFE LIST, Katrina victims can alert loved ones
to their location, update them on their well-being and begin to make initial
contact for additional assistance. Those in need simply leave a 1-minute
toll-free voicemail at 1-877-LIFE-LIST - from answering online posts about
housing to letting a friend know that they are alive.
LIFE LIST volunteers - regular people from all walks of life - then
personally deliver that message on their own phone on behalf of those who
cannot do so for themselves.
It's as easy as that... 1-877-LIFE-LIST.
I will be fielding phone calls myself.
