What's the best way to try to find out if a friend of a friend (not close family) is o.k. in Slidell, LA?

I think it's nearly impossible to get info from Slidell. I do know that the Oak Harbor neighborhood is flooded....and some neighborhoods are practically destroyed.
Try the links at the beginning of this thread. WLOX, Nola.com, Sun Herald, Clarion Ledger. All of them have places where you can search by name and post a request for information. I just found out that a lot of the people I've been looking for are in Houston. Out of several hundred, 36 are still unaccounted for, but I hope they're okay and just unable to communicate.
