John Wlling did a good job of getting Shelters, local government resources, and local media resources updated. I pitched in with a new url here and there. Right now I am working on adding Florida local governement sites. I'll sort them out by Gulf...

If you'll point me in the right direction I'll do whatever I can to help. I'm located just north of Pensacola. I'm hoping we don't lose power because our generator hasn't been used since Hurricane Ivan. So if I can help someone please let me know....

Hi Lucie, Thanks for the offer, but please be more specific. The way this works is volunteers have to explain what they're able to work on. For example, someone might say they're going to update the wiki page that focuses on what animal shelters ...

I am in Fort Walton Beach where we are expected to be very close to landfall. I have a backup generator, so should be able to maintain power and be in touch as long as internet is still up.

Stay safe, Dan. I'll be following what's going on in MS through my colleagues at Mississippi Public Broadcasting; they're mobilizing as well.

Please stay on topic

Some people have posted comments or discussions on the site that have had nothing to do with coordinating volunteer activities around Hurricane Gustav. Anyone who uses the site to spam us or hijack the project will be banned from the site. Sorry to be so hard-nosed about this, but we don't have time to deal with tangents that are unrelated to coordinating our activities.

New on Twitter: GustavAlerts

Thanks to the work of John Tynan of KJZZ public radio in Phoenix, we now have the start of a Gustav Alert on twitter. It's called GustavAlerts, and it'll be used to automatically send out government weather alerts related to Gustav. Right now it's just got one feed, and it needs tweaking, but we'll add more to it tomorrow as well.

Soon this site will aggregate content from a variety of sources, including Flickr, Twitter, YouTube, Utterz, Technorati, etc. If you're creating any content related to Gustav, please tag it gustav so we'll be able to aggregate it here. Thanks!

Setting up the site

Hi everyone,

I'm scrambling to get this group up and running. You'll see below I'm experimenting with some Twitter aggregators, and hope to settle on the most efficient system in the next few hours. @johntynan of KJZZ public radio is working with me to get some twitter accounts up and running, so twitter users can receive gustav news, alerts, blog posts, etc via twitter as well. I've also added a Flickr stream of content tagged gustav to the left.

More info soon; I'll be able to concentrate mo… Continue

How are you doing? Are you taking time for yourself? Is the stress-level diminishing?

Sorry Andy, I understand.

It just seemed to be the same as the Facebook link.

Andy: I have always benefited from following you on twitter and I appreciate you creating this group to spread the word. Informative for my friends who are leaving New Orleans today!

Thanks Andy. This is really cool. I'm in Shreveport, LA, and shelters have been set up here. There's one for those who are disabled or elderly and need medical care.
