[Katrina-IT-Volunteers] transportation to other cities for Katrina vicims

[Margie Becker]

There is a designated travel agency that facilitates the travel 
arrangements and gives free tickets to evacuees.  The information is 
available at the Red Cross help desk inside the convention center.  I 
have helped several families print boarding passes and secure rides to 
the airport for these free trips.

leave Austin, but to the best of my knowledge, the City of Austin is 
providing
for these needs.
