 Katrina: Red Cross needs network security tech volunteers
 Snip from an advisory from the SANS Internet Storm Center:
[Needed:] technically savvy volunteers who can help in two ways - at the shelters in implementing Windows and Cisco systems for the volunteers and people living there, and at Red Cross headquarters in the Washington DC area to improve the implementation of security software tools that have been implemented but are not fully exploited. Here's how you can help.
1. People who live near the shelters (or who could get there and who  
have family/friends with whom you could stay), and who have lots of  
experience deploying Windows XP and/or Cisco systems, please register  
your willingness to help at this link. The Red Cross will contact you  
directly.
2. People in the Washington DC area (or who could get here quickly)  
and would volunteer to help, and who have substantial experience with  
any of the following:
 -- tuning Cisco IDS
 -- tuning NetIQ Manager
 -- tuning McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator

please do two things:

a. register online, and b. send me an email at [paller at sans.org] telling me which tool you know well and how available and close you are so I can set up a contact for you.
SANS is also donating $100,000 to the Red Cross, and we learned today  
that at least one leading security vendor, TippingPoint, has offered  
to give the Red Cross the equipment they need to protect their  
networks - without asking for compensation.
If you know of people or companies in the IT or security field who  
are trying to make a difference in the recovery effort, please let us  
know what you or they are doing [Email paller at sans.org].
