NOLA View weblog: Emergency Contacts/Disaster Relief Efforts

I'm posting this from NOLA View on my site. Information is Power.

Please, please, please...if you know anybody who may need to track anybody down in Louisiana, have them hold off on flooding the phone lines until the situation is a bit more stable.

Bon Chance,
Jason
