Blogging for Aid to Katrina's Victims
I've added the Garage Scholars blog to a list of blogs that are asking readers to consider giving money to help the rescue, cleanup and reconstruction efforts in Louisiana and Mississippi after Hurricane Katrina, which could end up becoming the worst natural disaster in our nation's history.
The most immediate thing anyone can do, as far as I can tell, is to give money to the Red Cross.

Instapundit has a list of other charities or relief organizations you can give to.
Here is a list of all the blogs participating in today's effort to raise money for Katrina's victims.
And, just to fight the stereotype that all rich people are greedy bastards, I've linked to a page that has donations given by corporations.
In the weeks to come, we'll listen for what kind of things we can do (collect items, canned food, materials) to help as they assess their needs, and all of us should organize some collection drives once we know what to do.
Lastly, pray. Al Mohler has some good thoughts on trusting God at this time.
Mohler quotes from British hymn writer William Cowper's 1774 hymn, "God Moves in Mysterious Ways":

Mohler quotes from British hymn writer William Cowper's 1774 hymn, "God Moves in Mysterious Ways":
God moves in a mysterious way His wonders to perform; He plants His footsteps in the sea, and rides upon the storm.
Deep in unfathomable mines of never-failing skill, He treasures up His bright designs, and works His sovereign will.
Ye fearful saints, fresh courage take, the clouds ye so much dread, are big with mercy, and shall break In blessings on your head.
Judge not the Lord by feeble sense, but trust Him for His grace; Behind a frowning providence, He hides a smiling face.
His purposes will ripen fast, unfolding every hour; The bud may have a bitter taste, but sweet will be the flower.
Blind unbelief is sure to err, and scan his work in vain; God is His own interpreter, and He will make it plain.
