A state of emergency has been declared in four states in the wake of Monday's class IV hurricane: Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and parts of Florida. According to FEMA, as of early August 29, approximately 52,000 people were in 240 shelters throughout the Gulf Coast area, with the majority in the New Orleans Superdome. In Mississippi streets and homes were flooded as far as six miles inland.
While it is too early to determine the full extent of the damage caused by the storm, Architecture for Humanity is appealing for donations to support the work of local architects in the reconstruction and repair of the region's hardest hit areas. AFH
