Hurricane Katrina has brought such shocking and unfathomable results, it is hard to believe that there is any good that can come from her wrath. Though the grief sits heavy on my heart, I have certainly learned a few things with regard to humanity, generosity and the importance of readiness.
As much as I don't like Gavin Newsom, his creation of 72hours.org, a streamlined, informative and well-designed site for disaster preparedness, was nothing short of necessary for a city similarly cursed by natural catastrophes. The website includes instruction on what to do in case of an emergency, required supplies for most disasterous events and intended city action plans.
For anyone and everyone, it is worth a visit.
