In late summer of 2005, Hurricane
Katrina roared into the Gulf Coast, between Biloxi,
MS, and New Orleans, LA. Even though RAM had rarely
been involved in disaster relief in the past, we decided
to respond.
What ensued was one of the
most hectic and rewarding projects that RAM has ever
encountered. We provided medical teams to Louisiana
and Mississippi for four weeks after Katrina, including
a
|
week
of response to Rita, and then returned in February of
2006 to New Orleans.
Below is the journal of Wayne Smith,
a volunteer with RAM who spent a month in the devastated
areas of southern Louisiana and Mississippi. |
