I have to say, moms are amazing. Maybe we need a mom in charge of FEMA. Grace, of "I Am Dr. Laura's Worst Nightmare" blog fame wanted to act to help those affected by Katrina. But what to do?

She found a super-woman on the ground in Mississippi. Called her up... how can I help? Turns out super woman needs someone to help organize while she delivers things to shelters. Victoria (the super woman) has recognized there are specific needs at specific shelters that aren't getting met as supplies are backed up in larger relief centers. So Victoria is getting specific stuff to specific shelters. But she needed some help getting the precise word out.

So Grace started a blog to coordinate. People are updated with what needs to be sent where and how. So if you want to pack a box tomorrow, this blog can tell you where to send it and which delivery services will get it where it needs to go. Down to the tents that people are living in. FANFRICKENTASTIC.

FEMA, are you watching and learning? Disasters ask us to improvise in shifting situations. Come with your skills and heart, but be prepared to change your game plan. And bring along an organized person to help! Think what Victoria and Grace could do if they ran the whole shebang!
