As the refugees from N.O. are being moved to emergency shelter across the country including to places as far away as here in Phoenix, I wonder if anyone is thinking of providing these people longer term shelter with a little more dignity and privacy than the floors of stadiums and arenas? I hope many can find a place in the homes of relatives, but I know many will not.
The saddest thing on the news yesterday afternoon was seeing people who want to avoid evacuation. I know what they are feeling, but until some basic services like fresh water and sewers are back on line, the city remains a death trap.

Re: other types of housing. From what I know each county here has been granted disaster managment funds for 150 people. I heard through the grapevine today that one of our recently closed hospitals on Long Island is being converted to apts for that county's groups.
There are so many things going on here but then we had 9-11, much different; but very fresh in our minds. The scope, and other things about what happened truly are.
I hope you donn't mind but I am going to append the lighter item here too? At the end of very overtimeish days the lighters are helpful.. and the garden, the pups, the boy.
But, you have me extremely curious about the contents of your package today?
