Is there a LIST of survivors that doesn't involve searching through a message board? Just a simple list of names?
I believe at some point the American Red Cross or another agency will compile such a list. The focus up to now has been on rescue, flood control, and evacuations. For example, Search and Rescue just got into Slidell yesterday (an area that was hit hard) to assess the damage there. They will have to go door to door to assess survival - and this is the case in other areas as well. As soon as I find a report, a link, or any other information about a survivors list, I will definitely post it here. In the meantime, know that many people are praying for us as we go through this excruciating painful waiting period.

I am trying to locate Raeshad Johnson and Wanda Lonzo Johnson, who lived on Toulouse Street in New Orleans, in order to return some family photos left behind when they evacuated. I would appreciate any leads to help me get in touch with them. If there are other websites where I might check for contact information, that would be helpful, too.
Thank you very much for your help.

juan perez, are you an American? If so act it
Posted by: Mary | September 03, 2005 at 04:05 PM
I wanted to say to Juan Perez that Yes, it is sad that 800 people died in Bagdad, but we have to look after our own sometime. If it was between worry over one person you know or 8 in another state you did not know who would you feel concern for more? 800 may have died to 100 in New Orleans but there are still 100,000 trapped with out food, water, medicine or electricity. What do you think the death toll will end at from those numbers, and that just in New Orleans? People on Heart meds' or insulin, what are they going to do with out help? How often do we send suport to everyone everywhere for their natural disasters? Isn't time for us to assist people here in our own USA if they need it? The bridge collaspe was in my newspaper (and my prayers go out to their families) but I am more woried about the living and I want to know more about those I can help now. So put things in perspective. More than 100,000 living, trapped, and devastated or 800 already gone.
