Weekend update: Hurricane Resources and Other things found this week:
I'm sure you've all seen most of these additional hurricane resources I gathered this week by now, but better late than never, for the record:

• Medical India has a page on flood-borne diseases.
  
• WHO factsheet on floods and communicable diseases.
  
• WHO handbook on environmental health in emergencies and disasters
  
• Volunteer Florida is collecting relief funds for Katrina victims.
  
• NASA's hurricane page has new satellite images, and a section on New Orleans topography.
  
• NASA's Earth Observatory's satellite shots of Katrina.
  
• Al Tompkins has links to relief agencies, charities.
  
• Guidestar: Hurricane charities, a special page for searches.
  
• FEMA's Photolibrary has lots of Katrina photos already.
  
• PR Newswire is collecting Katrina news releases. You'll probably have to register.
• Hurricane Insurance Information Center
  
• News Designer is posting front pages and links to papers publishing online.
  

And, of course, I linked to lots of discussion, outrage, message and information sites all week on my Infomaniac blog on Herald.com.
