City of Austin "How to Offer Help"
Greenlights, an Austin non-profit organization has a nicely annotated list of ways to help.
Austin Helping New Orleans.org has a long list and near the bottom of the opening page is a call for volunteers to help clean up databases with the Katrina PeopleFinder Project. This site has the message below:
The Katrina PeopleFinder Project NEEDS YOUR HELP to enter data about missing and found people from various online sources. We’re requesting as little as an hour of your time. All you need to do is help read unstructured posts about missing or found persons, and then add the relevant data to a database through a simple online form.
