    This is an invaluable service, well done and thanks. Suggest you link to your Twitter profile too, and possibly use Google Maps to showcase the areas you mention. This kind of mashup could be easy to create with some community help.

    Thank you, Derek. As you can see, we’ve already added the Twitter update link to the sidebar.

    In the past, we’ve added Google and Yahoo map links where possible, but only when we’ve had the luxury of time. At this moment, we’re confirming the shelter locations from the affected chapters, and we’ll get that online as quickly as possible.

    Thanks again for the suggestions, and spread the word!

    Any idea when a list of shelter locations will be posted? Thanks.

    Hi Andrew,
    We’re hoping to get shelter location info by 4:30 pm EST.
