American Red Cross - Hurricane Katrina Relief Fund

As the extent of damage and loss of life caused by Hurricane Katrina is still unfolding, the American Red Cross is launching the largest mobilization of resources for a single natural disaster involving thousands of trained disaster relief workers, tons of supplies - and shoulders on which to lean.

The Red Cross is anticipating a sustained disaster relief effort. Already, nearly 70,000 evacuees have been provided shelter in more than 230 Red Cross shelters - from the panhandle of Florida, across Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Georgia and Texas.
