If You Need Help Contacting People.....

Communications with anyone in New Orleans and the other areas hit by the hurricane are very difficult. Too many people are desperate with worry over someone who stayed through the hurricane and they have not yet heard from them.

The Salvation Army and Ham Radio operators have an online emergency contact request form that you can fill out and submit. Your inquiry will be sent to the disaster area, where SATERN personnel will attempt to locate the person or persons about whom you are inquiring.

The link to the Health and Welfare Information Request Form is: http://qso.com/satern/emailfrm.htm

You can read more about what they are doing at this link: http://www.arrl.org/news/stories/2005/08/29/2/?nc=1

I hope this information can help you.
