I've seen a lot of good resources related to Hurricane Ike over the past week, and thought I'd compile them here.
- Images of the devastation that Ike wrought, from the USGS [1], NOAA [2], and NASA [3].
- Applying for assistance through FEMA [4].
- Hurricane assistance resources [5] through USA.gov [6] and Health & Human Services [7].
- Planning for future [8] hurricane preparedness [9].
- Rebecca Blakeley has posted a list of places you can volunteer or donate [10] at Gov Docs on the Bayou [11].
- I also used a recent FGI tip [12] to stay informed! By watching the NASA tweets [13], I saw when this message [14] was posted about the re-opening of Johnson Space Center on Monday.
