In order to honor this tragic day, I am going to attempt to blog one post every hour on the hour during the day. Yes that's 24 posts for 24 hours each dwelling in some way on the state of the city exactly one year post hurricane Katrina. If you would like to send in your own personal Katrina story for me (or anyone else on the BloggingNewOrleans team) to write up for this site, just click on the Tips link to the right.
Let's start off the day with a little help for all of you out there looking for someone to talk to on this day. The Infinite Mind Blog is a great resource discussing the mental health of the city and ways you can get and give help to those in dire need. Infinite Mind also has a public radio show that broadcasts across the USA and Canada on mental health issues.
edit: you may notice a lack of post accompaning images in the morning, my internet is wonked at the moment and I'll have to wait til I get to work to add some visuals
edit: read all the posts from the day via the last one
