It’s the stuff of nightmares: the destruction, death and displaced lives left in wake of Hurricane Katrina. One blogger, Andy Carvin, “tossing and turning in his bed” last night hit upon an inspiration: unilaterally declare tomorrow “International Blogging for Disaster Relief Day.”
In the recent past, the Internet has been a mainstay of up-to-the-second reporting on events, particularly catastrophes like the tsunami of the past year. The response to Katrina has been slow to develop, so spread the word and contribute what you can to charitable groups such as the Red Cross or your local relief efforts.
