+> After Katrina many friends and family members have been separated and  
+>   
+> left with no clear way to find each other. Hundreds of internet web  
+>   
+> sites are gathering hundreds, and probably thousands, of entries about  
+>   
+> missing persons or persons who want to let others know they’re okay.
+> 
+> The problem is: the data on these sites has no particular form or  
+>   
+> structure. So it’s almost impossible for people to search or match  
+>   
+> things up. Plus there are dozens of sites – making it hard for a  
+>   
+> person seeking lost loved ones to search them all.
+> 
+> The Katrina PeopleFinder Project NEEDS YOUR HELP to enter data about  
+>   
+> missing and found people from various online sources. We’re requesting  
+>   
+> as little as an hour of your time. All you need to do is help read  
+>   
+> unstructured posts about missing or found persons, and then add the  
+>   
+> relevant data to a database through a simple online form.
