How badly off are people there? According to this blog entry by author Cherie Priest (I got the link from the Neilsen Hayden’s Making Light blog), quite badly off.
There are a number of charities from which to choose (here’s a list from FEMA, the Federal Emergency Management Agency). Choose the one you think appropriate. I’m sending my money to the Canadian Red Cross, who are sending aid and accept tax-deductible donations from Canadians). If you’re in the United States, the American Red Cross will take your donations.

I was wondering if you would post this announcement in your blog:
Hello All,
I made a 4 minute film on local reactions to Hurricane Katrina, and people's experiences in North Carolina with previous hurricanes such as Floyd. I am trying to get this to air on Current TV. If you like my film, please give it a GREENLIGHT. With enough greenlights, my piece will air and I will donate all the money I make to the Red Cross Hurricane Relief Fund.
