Trying to find out about my brother and family in Biloxi

[plcdude]

does anyone know how to inquire about individuals?

1. I don't think there is a way, but if there is it would be Red Cross

probably.

It's also a bit early, probably.

I am sorry -- will hold you and your family in my thoughts and prayers. It has to be very difficult to be in this in-between place of not being able to find out anything.

2. Oh man

wish I could give you an answer. Hope your brother and family are ok though. Please let them know that our thoughts are with them.

6. Sorry about your family....

All TV news channel report that all communication systems are under water, no power to operate them and even news reporters are having a difficult time trying to report through satellite. Red Cross phone lines are impossible to reach. We can only sit and wait, and pray.

7. When was the last time you spoke to them?

Did they give you any indication as to if they were staying or going?

8. ...from another post...

Missing persons rescue database

A reader posts that there is a database being developed for people who are missing and may need to be rescued from New Orleans. Call 225-925-6626 to give officials their names. They may also have information about people already rescued. We attempted to check this number and were unable to get through (busy signal).
