Gordon plans to tour the flood areas this weekend to get a first hand assessment of the tragedy and to coordinate with NAACP branches that have organized to help distribute food and evacuate victims. The NAACP is also working to have additional buses go to New Orleans to transport victims out of the city and with the National Association of Black Owned Hotels to provide hotel rooms. In addition, the NAACP has secured contributions of emergency supplies for distribution in the flood areas.
