AAG Establishes Geography Support Clearinghouse and Special Fund to Help
Rebuild Geography Departments and Assist Others Affected by Hurricane
Katrina



In order to respond to the devastation caused by Hurricane Katrina and
assist our fellow geographers and others in need, the AAG is organizing
an online clearinghouse at http://www.aag.org/katrina, and establishing
a fund to support geography departments and others impacted by the
storm.  Departments and others in need in the affected regions can send
us a list of items (such as books, other publications, maps, and
electronic materials) or services (including remote sensing, emergency
mapping, special expertise, etc.) and we will post these lists on the
clearinghouse as a way of linking colleagues interested in helping out
with those in need.  The AAG has also established a special fund which
will go towards rebuilding departments and assisting others in the
hardest hit areas.  Geographers and others can contribute to the fund
online at http://www.aag.org/Donate/index.cfm or send a check to the AAG
designated for the "AAG Hurricane Katrina Assistance Fund."  Direct
questions or requests for assistance to Doug Richardson or John Wertman
at AAG headquarters in Washington, DC
