    A look into whats going in Lousiana after Katrina / Rita by localG

    localG has been in New Orleans since October 2005 working and helping people put their lives back together after Katrina / Rita
    He lived in his truck for two months in New Orleans, now he's in a camper.

    If you want to see pictures of the destruction taken by localG on the last week of January 2006 go to
    http://www.sportfishermen.com/board/...ead.php?t=6159

    It still look this this. Thousands of families living in tents (no, not trailers).
    Fishermen can't work since their boats are destroyed or need repairs.

    Watch this video shot in Feb 06 when a member of the site went down with his video camera to help localG to show the world how Louisiana looks like months after the hurricanes

    For more videos go to
    http://www.sportfishermen.com/board/...ead.php?t=6654

    Sportfishermen.com members are helping a lot but as you can see Louisiana needs way more help...
    or do you think this view is normal after over 6 months Katrina hit Lousiana?


    Members have made donations of about $50k worth of trailers, cash and supplies.
    10 people have been put in housing, 5 of witch were young children. A mans commercial boat will be fixed and back fishing by may for the season and he will be able to make and supply his family with a income. The products to fix this boat was from donations from members.
    3 Trailers were donated. These trailers will be used and the second the people find better housing others will be put in these trailers.

    Please help us make more people smile


    I could talk for hours here.


    If you have any contacts in radios, TV stations, magazines, newspapers please forward them this message.

    How about posting about this on your blog with a link to the Katrina / Rita forum?
    Or maybe a link on your site(s).

    Thank you.

                              The government has secretly cut their losses when it comes to New Orleans. It has wanted to cut state funding for it for some time now. New Orleans was the closest thing this country had to a third world city. The town didn't all look like the French Quarter. Far from it. Katrina just gave the State gov a reason to cut and run. The emergency budget given to it won't make a dent. You can expect Baton Rouge to be bigger and better though, that's where the states gambling money is going to come from.


                              It's nice of Local G to help make a few lives better no matter what the government does, or doesn't, do.

                                      No it wouldn't. Are the WTC towers rebuilt completely?

                                          That's a city private business and politics issue. It's a bit different.

                                                          Yes, it surprises me that the supposed "richest country in the world" can't do more for its own people that tragically lost their incomes, homes, and livelihoods

All those taxes you pay are supposed to be for disaster relief, recovery, etc. and when you give cash, you're bailing out this inept administration.

                                                                                                                                  Sounds cold, but if I was living down there, I'd honestly be a lot more furious your gov't is using your money (even indirectly) on rebuilding Iraq instead of your own cities.

                                                                                                                                  In any event, it's great to see people volunteering and helping but your gov't really has fucked over the people affected by this disaster. Damn shame.

Where the heck do you begin? The logistics are a total nightmare. People have left. Housing tens of thousands of workers is a major problem because there is no infrastructure at all. Business is all screwed up. Its a TOTAL DISASTER that will need hundreds of Billions the government doesn't have to repair it all.

                                                                                                                                              the question should have been, have they even started to rebuild ground zero and can say without hesitation, no.

                                                                                                                                              but good point, regardless.

                                                                                                                                                                                              I would like to thank you for posting this, we know that people have gone back to business as usual and probably think that the situation has been wrapped up or is close to being wrapped up and that simply is not true. Honestly I do not know what to say, my family had made provisions for things like this, I likewise made my own provisions as soon as I moved out of their house. It is unfortunate that others did not take simular steps and now the worst has happened. Thank you for all the people who gave to help or came down here or are still here to help out the people of New Orleans but please do not forget about the equally needy, but it seems less popular, people of Texas, Florida and Mississippi. The big easy may have taken the biggest hit but we were in no means the only people effected.

For those of you who had nothing but scorn, contempt and negativity, well I can only hope that you are never in a position simularly through anyone's fault least of all your own and if you do, I hope that you never have to hear simular comments about your situation.

I am in B.R. I have watched our hotel rooms destroyed (lady says she writes everything on the wall because "She ain't got no paper"). I have seen the gangs develop in schools that didn't have problems before. I have seen help wanted signs on every block, with store owners saying N.O. people are definitely not applying. I think the hurricane situation in N.O. was horrific. I wouldn't wish that on anybody. BUT, I really wish there weren't so many people just looking for handouts almost 7 months later. I feel terrible for those who are actually making an effort to get their lives back together.
