Massive Response to Tragedy Most of us have been spending considerable time in front of our television sets watching news reports from areas stricken by Hurricane Katrina. It has been a heartbreaking experience. First there were people stranded on rooftops and makeshift life preservers begging to be rescued. Then came the looting, shooting, and various acts of mayhem. Sometimes the scenes were too grim to watch. A natural disaster causing such widespread devastation in this country seemed almost impossible until Katrina struck the Gulf Coast. Watching the rescue efforts in flooded areas and hearing of the possibility of thousands of people missing during the days following the storm seemed eerily similar to the tsunami tragedy in Asia only a few months ago. Televised interviews with survivors brought back memories of the World Trade Center disaster four years ago with one major difference: Most of the survivors in New York had homes to go to. In New Orleans, Gulfport, Biloxi, and other communi ties in Mississippi and Louisiana, most of the survivors had nowhere to go. They have lost homes, possessions, jobs, and loved ones. hope readers As in most disasters, it has been encouraging to note the tremendous out pouring of relief for victims of the hurricane , especially by corporate Amer ~11ppor :f;~RB :. ica. Large corporations with familiar names have stepped forward with unprecedented levels of financial aid to assist victims of the storm. Q;t'the Re&Cross, Churches, relief agencies, and other organizations have provided everything from food, potable water, and dry shelters to generators, cots and clothing. As is often the case, the Episcopal Church has been a leader in relief efforts i>•'ose volunteers with its Episcopal Relief and Development (ERD). Emergency funds were uk'dertook what sent to the dioceses of Louisiana, Mississippi and the Central Gulf Coast almost immediately to address such needs as food, shelter and medical sup plies. Other dioceses also have been supportive of relief efforts. We hope readers will support ERD or the Red Cross, whose volunteers undertook what the organization said was the largest mobilization in its history. The Red Cross in particular is experienced working with crises of this magni tude, and its network of volunteers moved into the hurricane-ravaged area quickly. The Salvation Army, also experienced at dealing with major tragedies, and Church World Service are among other agencies worthy of our contribu tions. It has been particularly heartrending to see the physical condition of some of the churches that were ravaged by the storm. The images of the Sunday Eucharist being celebrated among the ruins of a Mississippi church will be long lasting. They are a vivid reminder that the church is not a building, but the thought that members of these parishes lost the place where they and perhaps their ancestors worshiped, celebrated and mourned adds a personal dimension to the tragedy. The prayers of all will be needed during the rebuilding process. Prayers for the victims of the hurricane who now find themselves displaced persons in unfamiliar surroundings , for those who continue to provide relief and res cue efforts, for an end to violence and lawlessness, for those who have opened their homes to evacuees , and for those involved in the rebuilding process are especially needed and should be part of the intercessions of individuals and in our congregations. Finally, as is usually the case in tragedies like this, there are heartwarm ing and encouraging stories found amid the trauma of the storm's aftermath. There are neighbors helping neighbors, strangers rescuing stranded victims, a lone hospital offering care after others were forced to close, volunteers arriving from all parts of the country to provide assistance. The love, com passion, and hospitality being shown at a time of overwhelming disaster is a wonderful example for all.
