Re: [Life With A Lazy Daze RV] Re: Katrina victims Reply #4 – August 31, 2005, 03:59:23 pm Yahoo Message Number: 57505Call the local chapter of the American Red Cross and give them the details. Unfortunately, the situation is so bad in New Orleans that amateur radio emergency communication teams are not being allowed in the area yet. Right now the Red Cross is your best hope.Dick
