Exactly, unlike the tsunami this hasn't happened yet afaik.

For now if you wish to send money you might want to go over the red cross's website and send a donation, I'm sure you can do so locally to.

www.redcross.org

Best wishes to any one down there and to you guys with family in that area.

I have family in the middle of St. Bernard parish, which was devastated. The Red Cross, operation usa, Direct Relief, and many others are all working to help the victims. I think that any way that you can help is needed/appreciated, and there is no time to wait.

You can donate directly to the New Orleans chapter of the America Red Cross by clicking HERE

America's Second Harvest is another aid organization that is helping the victims of the hurricane, and they can use every penny you can spare right now.

I have created several small mods so people can easily add a banner to their forum to help hurricane victims. Please look in my sig for links to those Hurricane Banners, and please add the banner to your forum!

There is no time to wait! Every day that passes without the needed help brings those people closer to danger/death! If you never donated to anything like this before, now is the time for social action! The federal/local governement is doing what they can, but it will not be enough - aid organizations such as Red Cross and the rest are already on the ground helping people directly, and they can do more with your help.

MODS HERE AT VBULLETIN.ORG: PLEASE ADD A BANNER TO THE FORUM SO PEOPLE HERE CAN DONATE, ALSO!

glad to see the mods here care more for the 3rd world than they do for one of their biggest puchasing bases(the US) Please get the banners up.

hum, i don't see the point of insisting that much... can't you guys go directly to redcross.com and donate ?!

i think that even if no link is added anywhere, the entire America is aware of the situation and wants to help... no need to "advertise" the need.

here at Québec, we already sent 100 specialized people from the redcross to the locations that were the most in needs in New Orleans, and these people are specialised in these desasters, they helped when the Tsunami hit last year... this may not be sufficient, but imagine, we're not even touched by your situation in the USA, and we help... so imagine the ones you know around you.... everybody helps...

don't flame the vbulletin guys because there is no banner yet... thanks!

I agree in that I don't think there is need for flaming, but there is need to "advertise" the fact! Look at the news! What is happening is terrible.

A banner was put up here for the Tsunami victims, and I feel it would be nice to see a banner to support the Hurricane victims as well.

like Brad just said yesterday, they wait for something official to advertise a banner... i don't see why you continue to post about this...

if you say it would be nice, maybe it would be nice from you to wait for this, instead of starting to flood about the situation... you just post a new thread about the banner thing, i think it's flooding, and my input would be ... wait, advertise on your side, and let the guys here do their job... they do it well usually!

-- my 2? (CA but 2? anyway!)

Wait for something official?!?! LOOK AT THE NEWS! THEY ARE SENDING SOS MESSAGES! THEY NEED MONEY/HELP NOW!!!

I am sorry if you think it is "flooding" (an unfortunate and BAD choice of words on your part, I think), however the lack of any action here has certainly surprised me. How long does it take to decide to put up a banner, and then do it?

This was uncalled for, not because you attempted to insult the staff but you come off like the people affected by the tsunami are worth less than the ones feeling the aftermath of Katrina, please don't let it happen again.

Lets be honest here, anyone not living under a rock knows what is going on in New Orleans and many places along the coast in that area. Many countries have pleaded their support and a great number of people are sending in donations already.

This is not to say that there won't be a banner. I came real close to adding one myself yesterday before this thread was posted. But it's not my place to change something like that without consulting my fellow staff members first, so I opened a thread in our staff forum instead, and when we figure out exactly what we will put up it will be added.

This is not something that will go away this week, it will be an on-going thing for many months and everyone is going to feel it. Gas is already going up and that means prices on all goods will go up soon, rough times are ahead. I encourage you all to not only do what you can to help the people in the new orleans area but also your neighbros and family who will also be feeling the aftermath of this storm for many months (or maybe years) to come.
