Given the floods, it could be weeks before some of 
these sites are onstream again. However, if they
have backups of their systems, they could recreate
some of their services, such as email servers,
in data centers outside New Orleans. That is one
thing that people could do to help. There are lots
of New Orleans residents who escaped the city but
if they use an email service located in the city,
then when it goes down, it will be down for
weeks.
