Katrina Forces Contingency Plans

The extent of the devastation of the Gulf Coast area including New Orleans has caused many with connections to the area both direct and tangential to struggle grasping it all. MSNBC notes that local newspaper the Picayune-Times has gone on-line for now; their cartoonist Steve Kelley has also updated on-line.

I disagree with the timing of the DC Comics' press release pledging support to retailers. As it's not the help that meets the more immediate needs of those communities, and many people are still rightfully grappling with the immensity of what has happened, I feel the public declaration of DC's intent could have waited a few days. I very much applaud the program, though, and its sentiment, and look forward to unpacking all such efforts later on through this site. Scroll down a bit in that article and you'll see Matt Brady does a nice job of describing past efforts to give this one a probable context.
