Project Katrina Reunite

October 5, 2005

Project Katrina Reunite focuses on searching for missing children and their families, and others who were displaced and have lost track of each other in the wake of the devastation caused by hurricane Katrina. The search is done online over forty online databases.

M. A. Center volunteers started this project on August 31, 2005 just two days after Katrina struck the Gulf coast. More than 150 people have contributed to this effort, many working around the clock from home and remote offices. Several hundred missing persons have been reunited with their loved ones as a result of Project Katrina Reunite. The ability to use the internet to provide comfort to the suffering has been a wonderful discovery for those unable to travel to the shelter and give aid directly.

Project Katrina Reunite also includes a subgroup that places calls to individuals and shelters, in order to notify people that their loves ones have been located.
