Hurricane Gustav Evacuation List Links

Hello friends, I'm now off the deck and back online to post this very important message:

I'm receiving an unusually high number of hits on my blog from folks who are Googling hurricane preparedness, evacuation lists, and related disaster rescue and recovery topics. 

You're here because of this post. As you discovered, there's a good list on that entry, but it pertains to evacuation from wilderness/urban fires.  Here are some links to hurricane specific evacuation resources:

The American Red Cross Evacuation Checklist - Can be downloaded as a .pdf or printed from the screen.

State of Louisiana Homeland Security and Emergency Preparedness - A fact sheet with a brief list - as in "If you have only moments before leaving, grab these things and go!") and an extended list.

Not a list per se, but a wealth of evacuation tips from Katrina survivors on Nola.org of The Times Picayune.

Also from Nola.org and relevant to citizens of the New Orleans metropolitan area, a comprehensive resource guide - New Orleans Hurricane Survival Guide.

Good luck and many blessings to all of you in the hurricane zone.   Please, friends, take care.

Grace -

I've been tracking where people are evacuating from and where they are ending up; mostly news clippings at the moment, just to get a sense of the dispersion.

There's a Google Map, which is linked from my blog here:

Thanks for relinking to the links, Grace. Here in Houston, we're not exactly worried for ourselves, just ... wary; however, we're positively frightened for our neighbours in NOLA. Let's hope it won't be as bad as all indications seem to point...
