This is probably old news, but CNN.com has a list of people who want to let others know they are alright after the storm. The list and instructions on how to get added can be found here http://www.cnn.com/SPECIALS/2005/hurricanes/list/ . Might be worth including the link in the first post of your next Katrina thread, Nautinurse.
