Katrina Evac to Houston Links

As you probably know, the Katrina victims from New Orleans who have taken refuge in the Superdome are being moved to the Astrodome in Houston.

Here is the main link for the Harris County Citizen Corps, the main citizen emergency responder volunteer group.

Here are Houston blogs following the story, as well as a great post at the SciGuy blog giving info on how to volunteer to help, from a source at Houston ground central for the operation, the Reliant Center, where the Astrodome is located.
