Brief, big lessons learned from Hurricanes Katrina and Gustav


?>

A lot in a few words?

-- from Katrina you learn that you need a good platform, a culture of trust, then get out of the way

-- twitter and blogging, good at getting the word out

-- need for good sites which bring together grassroots and other resources

-- government people are working with sites in a loose (so far) partnership with grassroots efforts; need more

... and another storm's on the way
