Katrina's Cleanup
It will take help from everyone

One thing that was evident from conversations with Maj. Byron E. Martin of the American Rescue Workers, is that this cleanup effort is going to take a considerable amount of time and effort from everyone.  We are endeavoring to continue our relationship with local churches and organizations to  support for the long term requirements presented by this disaster.  

Power companies work to restore power to all parts of the city of New Orleans September 30, 2005. Thousands of people began returning to storm-ravaged New Orleans on Friday, but local officials voiced fears that fragile levees could give way once again if another hurricane strikes. The smell of rotting food and garbage wafted across the Uptown and Garden Districts, where utility crews scrambled to return electricity house by house amid the downed trees and dangling power lines that still litter the area.
