Google Maps used to have a before and after satellite view of New Orleans.  I don't know if it is still up, but it was amazing to see.

I went down to that area staying in the Madevlline Church of Christ.  While we did liittle work working in New Orleans.  Most  of the work was in Waveland, Mississippi, It is impossible not to be effected by the devestation.\nEspecially when you speak with people who have a job and no home.  If you have been there just for five days you will be traumatized.

You couldn't ask for a better place to live. I'm a native of Charlotte and lived in the Myers Park area of the city. It has grown by leaps and bounds in the past ten years. You will find a wide range of neighborhoods to live in. Many of our older ones are being upgrated and are rather pricey, but you can find just as nice neighborhoods in most any part of Charlotte. My hubby and I, we're retired, live in the south of Charlotte in Matthews and love our area. The shopping is terrific and there are many great places to eat. We are also about 1 1/2 hours from the mountains, the Blue Ridge Parkway, and are about 5 hours from some of the most beautiful beaches to visit. The schools vary from excellent to fair, depending on where you decide to live. Get a good real estate agent and tell him/her what you are looking for. I recommend Allen Tate Realtors, I think they are the best. Good luck and I hope you decide to move here, you won't be sorry.

200 miles for a mobile home.\n150 miles for a regular home.\n100 miles for a solidly built regular home.\n75 miles for a home like the one shown in the blog at http://360.yahoo.com/ki_te_moana\nPut this kind of home on pilings if in flood plain, near the river or in the hurricane storm surge area.\nNot at all on barrier islands.\nNo closer than 25 miles to coastal lowlands.\nAt fifty miles, you will still need to board your windows and doors for hurricances, even with this new kind of home.\n\nIf you are living in a mobile home, do not forget Tornado coverage and other threats on your insurance.\n\nThe Mayor will not like me, but I say NO_NO for New Orleans, for all reasons, including the weather and the levees.

I was in New Orleans the day before Hurricane Katrina hit. When we were evacuating the city we passed by very poor neighborhoods. Most of the people living in those neighborhoods were African American. They were sitting on the porches waving to us. I asked my boyfriend why they weren't leaving and he said they didn't have enough money for gas, food, hotel etc.. I don't think its the entire black race that feels this way about it. Just those in New Orleans who did not have enough money to evacuate.

LSU might be interesting. history is being made as the state deals with the aftermath of katrina.\n\nUT - San Antonio might also be interesting. nice, small city with riverwalk area.\n\nUA is also worth considering for friendly people and true deep south experience.

i live in a town in florida called leesburg and i love it, everything there you need, not a great mall but a mall but the only problem is in the winter alot of people from up north come down and most of them live in a section called the villages in lady lake and traffic gets really hectic and the oldies get in them golf carts and try to rule that area, plenty of jobs a great pool hall (franks place)about 60 miles from daytona beach so the hurricanes miss you pretty good,youll get used to the heat the longer your there,, i just love it,,, so to you good luck and enjoy..

Try any large University based hospital for starters. Before Katrina, I'm sure Tulane would have been the place to go. Not sure if Oschner is still up to full speed yet. Try Baylor or any of the big Texas hospitals.

Log on to WWW.FEMA.GOV.  They list how to get help not only from  FEMA but other resources as well.  I am a Katrina survivor.  My mother, sister and I were in our house in Pass Christian when the tidal surge took it and we went out the upstairs windows.  We spent 11 hours in the water. GOOD LUCK to you.

As a part of my work, I went on a trip with the Mayor of our small town in Alabama, and all of the department heads for the city.  We visited Waveland, Mississippi.  \n\nWaveland had a population of about 8,500 people and was directly on the coast.  Waveland was covered by 25 foot waves, twice during Katrina.  The water traveled as far as 10 miles inland!!  The water was incredibly destructive.  A house that has been completely covered in water is a rubble pile.  The amount of debris still left to be cleared 6 MONTHS LATER  was mind blowing.  The Mayor of Waveland and all of the city employees were soldiering on in a crisis state every day.  They divided the town into north and south (south being by the beach) and the city oversaw clearing and re-constructing the South.  The North was to be delt with by the Corps of Engineers.  The Corps took over the six dump sites the city already had in place and permitted (the city had been through hurricanes before) and told them they had to find and permit other sites.  (Where DO you put 15 million tons of debris?)  The city got to it and had accomplished 10 TIMES what the Corps had been able to do!  \n\nWaveland complained that the response from the Federal Government was too slow,  the communication was terrible, and the rules changed constantly.  \n\nI don't think the Feds CAN respond to a  disaster like Katrina.  The process is toooooo sssllooooww.  Also the Department of Homeland Security (over FEMA) was never intended or structured to deal with a disaster like this.  They were put in place for invasions.  We need some major renovation or a new department!!\n\nFYI - the money is still there - it just takes them soooo long to distribute it.  We are still getting checks and funding from IVAN!!

You can go to a local welfare office and they can give you information on Section 8 Housing.  Since I don't know the state or town to which you are referring, I can't get any more specific.  \n\nGood luck with your new family. :)
