Tomorrow is my first newspaper interview (second on Thursday) so I thought I'd have some handy information on Hurricane Katrina.
If you want to find some good info - numbers, etc. -
this is a good link:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hurricane_Katrina
Here's an example of some of the info:
The official death toll now stands at 1,302 and the damage from $70 to $130 billion, topping Hurricane Andrew as the most expensive natural disaster in U.S. history. Over a million people were displaced — a humantarian crisis on a scale unseen in the U.S. since the Great Depression.
In Louisiana, the hurricane's eye made landfall at 6:10am CDT on Monday, August 29, After 11:00am CDT, several sections of the levee system in New Orleans collapsed. By early September, people were being forcibly evacuated, mostly by bus to neighboring states.
I know this is a lot of information, but it is good to jot down some numbers and have them handy for use with the media when talking about why this book is so important.
Mention our goals
And promote - promote - promote the book -
Wow...this is big. I am so honored to be a part of it.
Chuncky, thanks for making it simpler for me by putting all the numbers of book sales etc. up in the other threads.
