**Here are Links to Hurricane Katrina Disaster Relief Organizations**
KO-FAB wants to send our condolences of all of the survivors of Hurricane Katrina on the gulf coast of Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama and including Florida for the loss of loved ones, friends and property that you have encountered in this crisis. We are also wanting to help others to find the web site(s) the organizations that would be able to assist these survivors where they can survive and have hope for tomorrow. Please visit the web sites below of, The American Red Cross and The Salvation Army and help if you can. There are other organizations besides these that are involved with this relief effort and I am hoping to place links to those also as I locate them. Those of you located in the cities in Texas such as Dallas, Houston, San Antonio and others that are receiving the surviving refugees and providing them with shelter and food from New Orleans and other cities that are not able to donate money or goods to assist can still help by offering their selves to volunteering to help these organizations to help those in need.
There are other ways of helping and I also urge all of you to that are able to provide means of transportation such as trucks and trailers, busses, aircraft and helicopters that are capable of delivering and distributing food and water or for the moving the survivors and the sick to contact these organizations and the proper United States Federal and Local Government of Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and Florida.
If you have any trouble finding the appropriate branch of government to contact to help with this relief assistance, or are running into a dead end with those branches that you have found, please contact me by email at kofab@gokofab.com and I will try to locate those contact numbers and post them on this web site or reply back to your email. Feel free to copy any of the information that I have that links to these organizations and post them on your web site. These people really need all of our help in any way that we can. Our hearts and our prayers pour out to all of you for the devastation and suffering that you are going through now and for the long road of not knowing of what lies ahead. God Bless all of you survivors. Also God Bless and a special thanks to all of the people that are able to assist you in any way. I am hoping that this message and this web site helps all of you who are wanting to get involved and able to help those in need of this tragedy.
Sincerely,
Gery T. Kobos

Air America Radio's Public Voicemail is a way for disconnected people to communicate in the wake of Katrina. Here's how it works: Call the toll-free number above, enter your everyday phone number, and then record a message. Other people who know your everyday phone number (even if it doesn't work anymore) can call Emergency Voicemail, enter the phone number they associate with you, and hear your message. You can also search for messages left by people whose phone numbers you know. Air America Radio will leave Public Voicemail in service for as long as this crisis continues. You can call it whenever you are trying to locate someone, or if you are trying to be found.
