Douglas Crumpler, member of our South Florida sister group, has been working with the Florida EOC and FEMA to render assistance to the IT Professionals affected by the catastrophic effects of Hurricane Katrina. Doug has sent out invitations to IT Professionals in Florida that may be willing to help with the recovery and rebuilding process of the IT infrastructure in the affected areas. Orlando, to one degree or another, was struck by three hurricanes last year and I know you all remember trying to make it without power, broadband or perhaps even a few roof tiles. People in the gulf states have it much worse, most having lost their houses, businesses or even worse.
If you have the means and willingness to help in the enormous task of rebuilding the IT infrastructure please get in touch with Doug and offer your assistance.
