The U.S. Department of Education has a website up to facilitate providing support to schools affected by the Hurricane Katrina. If you work for or run an organization that is in a position to donate supplies, money, or expertise to affected schools you might well check out the site. Or, if you know that evacuees are being accepted to a school near you, you might want to donate directly. If you are a employer, you might consider offering qualified employees paid leave to volunteer in local schools accepting evacuees.
More on hurricane help for schools later.

Note that the NIH is continuing stipends for researchers and their students. Other research institutions are being asked to accommodate the displaced individuals.

Lots of universities are accepting students from the affected area. I have a couple in my class since Monday. Dorm space is REALLY tight, if you can rent a room to a NO student it could be a big help.
