Try the New Orleans website. It should list the Mayor's secretary's number. They will leave a message for the Mayor.\n\nBut if you're just looking to help out, contact the Red Cross or Salvation Army.

Honestly, I would stay put if your current job does offer health benefits. The extra pay doesn't seem to justify the move, in my opinion. The additional commute will also cost you in money and time. Both of these jobs sounds about the same in terms of prestige. Good Luck.

I doubt you will receive much assistance from the American Red Cross at this point as they are an organization for emergency relief directly after a disaster strikes.  Call FEMA and file with them.  Also make sure you apply for a loan with the SBA (Small Business Administration).  Most people aren't aware of this, but you need to file with the SBA in order to get the maximum amount of assistance from FEMA.  Even if you aren't a business and even if you know you're going to get denied because of bad credit, you still need to make sure you apply and let FEMA know the results.  I volunteered and worked disaster relief for 3 months post-Katrina.  I wish you the best of luck.

we already have welfare, food stamps, government housing, and medical care. there shouldnt be any other special programs. new orleans has been taken down in the past by hurricanes, it will happen again. it is a stront city, it has rebuilt on its own in the past without the help of the government. i lived in texas where rita went through. i lost almost everything as far as possessions go. i'm not accepting handouts from the government. i moved, life continued on. when the weather dictates that you evacuate, you dont just sit there and then expect compensation for your own lack of listening. i say the government should completely back out of rebuilding new orleans and let it do what it needs to to rebuild itself. people with money will invest, it will come back bigger, better, and stronger.

Good luck!  Most of the apartment complexes in the Greater New Orleans that did not have extensive damage are packed with people and will not have any vacancies.  Your best bet would be to either look on nola.com in the classified section for apartments being rented by individuals or possibly under wwltv.com under the forums.  Also try craigslist.com

Oh yeah.  Why would you stay in a dead end job?  If your new job is that much better you can always hop a flight to see family.  \n\nLook, America is a big country.  If all you know about it is the town you were born in, you are missing out.  I've lived in six states, and each time I relocate I have a good reason.  I know aabout three of the four corners of the US (never lived in Washington State), the Carolinas and Louisiana.  Every time I relocated I knew I was doing it to better myself.  My family understands that I have to go where my career takes me, and I know that I have a home that I bleong in when the holidays come around.  My wife is a Texan, with the big spaces mentality, and a taste for long road trips.  When we drove from California to Massachusetts it was her idea to make it a long one, with side trips to go see friends that were not too far away along the route we wanted to take.\n\nThe bottom line is opportunities seldom knock twice.  If you decide to pass up opportunities it won't be the things that you did that you regret at the end of your life, but the things you DIDN'T do.  Keep that in mind.

This is likely not practical but....\n\nIf you can locate a church in the NOLA area, many are providing relief direct to the victims instead of going through an organization with too darn many administrators.\n\nExample - A member of our church was an insurance adjuster who went down on a catastrophe team.  But while there, she noted a church supplying materials (primarily roofing) and food directly to victims.  We simply gave the money to that church - and it was not even our own denomination - knowing that this money was going to help a whole lot more than the many organizations who have staffs to support and expenses to take off the top.\n\nNot sure how you can locate a church doing that kind of work at this late date but if you can, that's the way to make your donation go the farthest...

Red Cross- I know i could, and if i couldn't i know others that can.Its a good hearted organization with no direction,and poor organization skills,at the top I have more admiration for there middle management and people on the ground than for anyone at the top.

Having done a lot of business related to trucking one would need to know what part of Jersey your looking at moving to. The northern end is very industrial and very hecktic as traffic is very heavy. Living in the north end very much like living in NYC with more space. The industry in receint years have cleaned up a lot of bad air. Not perfect, just cleaner than it used to be The further south you get the more spread out Jersey becomes. That means you'll see farm land and more open spaces. If you get near Atlantic City, east side, it's very busy with tourist trade. The westside cities like Camden which is across the river from Philadelphia again a very busy area. Lot of people that work in Philly live in the communities in Jersey just across the bridges. Crime in the Jersey cities much higher than most any place in Kentucky. Like I say Jersey very close to NYC and of course people that work in NYC also live in Jersey too. A much faster pace to life than Kentucky I would dare say. Natural Jersey citizens also have a language, way they talk, much different than Kentucky also. It may take a while to get used to how they talk. Very many different languages can be heard in Jersey too. Many immigrants from other countries live and work in Jersey also due to it's being so close to where they may have gotten off the boat from their homeland.  With all I've said the biggest adjustment will be the faster pace things move in Jersey. Communications of all kinds, mass transit, either rail or bus,air, are thru out most all of New Jersey. New Jersey known mostly for it's industry but does have agriculture within its borders. It will be a new experience if you've always been in Kentucky. Have a good time and be careful in a new and more lively environment. Be very careful when making a visit to NYC, it can be very dangerous if your not careful. Baltimore and the nations capital Washington,D.C. also very close to Jersey to visit also. If your living in rural Kentucky will be a shock just for how fast things move. Make your move a learning adventure. It's different, but you can make it home and have a good life there as well as you can anywhere in this great nation we call the United States of America. We really do live in a great country. Have a good move and best of luck to you and your family.    Take care.

housing is very tight right now. you may want to consider the surrounding parishes (counties), like jefferson, st. charles, st. tammany, st. john. best bet - come down before you move and drive around. lots of people put signs up on houses to rent, because they will rent in hours that way. some of the large apartments were estroyed but are being rebuilt. some of the corporates are tonti and first lake.
