The earlier calls for volunteer developers in the Google Maps API forum must have been answered. KatrinaShelter.com has risen up as "an unfiltered database of individuals and groups all over the country who can provide temporary shelter for victims of Hurricane Katrina. We are a volunteer organization trying to coordinate the growing number of homes and shelters being opened to people left homeless and hungry by Katrina." The site has now integrated a Google Map to show locations of homes and shelters which are open to those who have been left homeless by Hurricane Katrina. The map is aggregating listings from sites like KatrinaHousing.org.

Uz has created a convenient Google Maps viewing tool to make use of the recently released Aug.10 satellite imagery of the New Orleans area. The tool shows a side by side view of the before and after images. This tool can be used to help locate homes and communities.
