Websites For Locating Katrina’s Missing Persons

The following websites have set up areas to help people find friends and family who are presumed missing due to Hurricane Katrina:

• nola.com - also has message boards for reporting status of communities in the New Orleans and surrounding areas
• NowPublic’s Katrina Missing Persons Board
• al.com:Mobile message board
• The Mississippi Sun Herald has set up a number for residents to call to let someone know they are O.K. (1-866-453-1925)
• Update: The American Red Cross maintains a database to help you find family. Contact your local American Red Cross chapter for information. Do not contact the chapter in the disaster area.
• National Next of Kin Registry
• The Times-Picayune
• Update: Yahoo!News Katrina Metasearch
