cellio | more Katrina resources (and help needed)

I've made some updates to the resource page for refugees. As I'm sure most people expected, there are gazillions of sites coordinating housing, checkin listings, missing-persons reports, and so on, all uncoordinated with each other. If you can offer programming help for consolidated searches of these sites, go here.

Help maintaining this list is also needed. (Once the holiday weekend is over I'll be busy again.)

siderea is going to come up with a way for people to submit changes; right now we're hand-editing HTML but that's just temporary.

Of course, this information is only useful if it can be gotten into the hands of the folks holed up in hotels, stadia, etc. Some people are working on getting local help for that, but there's always room for more. The page contains the text of all URLs so it can be printed and faxed and still be useful.

I've been told that ham-radio operators are working to relay messages, but what I don't know is how J. Random Refugee cgoes about finding a ham operator. Is there a directory?
