This was on du the other night.
Here is an address for all who would like to Join the Katrina PeopleFinder Project.
Most of the shelters are also putting up "lost and found" bulletin boards and we
need people who can get names from those boards.
After Katrina many friends and family members have been separated and left with
no clear way to find each other. Hundreds of internet web sites are gathering
hundreds, and probably thousands, of entries about missing persons or persons who
want to let others know they’re okay.
The problem is: the data on these sites has no particular form or structure. So it's almost impossible for people to search or match things up. Plus there are dozens of sites - making it hard for a person seeking lost loved ones to search them all.
The Katrina PeopleFinder Project NEEDS YOUR HELP to enter data about missing and found people from various online sources. They are requesting as little as an hour of your time. All you need to do is help read unstructured posts about missing or found
persons, and then add the relevant data to a database through a simple online form.

It's easy. All you need is an internet connection and the ability to copy data into a form.
