Not to sound heartless, but people are not going to be totally reliant
on donations to get by. There will be a ton of federal aid, insurance
money, etc. going to these people.
There will be no refugee camps. People will be relocated to other
cities. We don't live in a 3rd world country, and have plenty of room
for the displaced all over the country.

yet, consider donating to the Red Cross. I don't usually (because of $$

But I can't sit back and just let Americans die right here, right now
while I sit in AC eating pizza in comfort.
If you got the impression that things where not that bad Monday and you
haven't turned on the news lately, New Orleans is a doomed city. The
levees broke and the city WILL drown. We have survivors walking out with
nothing but what is on their backs not knowing where to go, what to do,
no shelter, food, water, money, nothing. We are going to have refuge
camps down there for a while. DO WHAT YOU CAN ASAP.
