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

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.

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
