Hurricane Katrina Relief and Aid

I live in the Great State of Washington which is a very volatile place to call home. Mount Rainer and Mount Saint Helens are less than 50 miles from me. Washington is also bordered by the Pacific Ocean and is in constant threat of earthquakes. It is not a question of if but when a natural disaster strikes my region. Volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, which both can cause tsunamis and not to be takenly lightly one of the largest nuclear reactors at Hanford resides on the east side of the state. The potential for catastrophy in my region of residence is not something that I like to imagine. I don't want to start a jinks or any supersiticious non-sense like that, but I believe that it is better to be safe than sorry. If I were to become a victim of a natural disaster such as the scale of Katrina or Rita then I would hope that there would be an effective response and a caring effort to restore the state's beautiful ecosystems and that insurance companies would follow through with legitimate claims.

After reading this article posted by GoogleNews, I thought it would be an exellent eye-opener for all those who have the privelage of home insurance. My heart goes out to those people not recieving their claims checks in the Gulf Region due to stingy insurance companies and if something like this were to occur to me, I know that I would fight a legal battle tooth and nail with my insurance company. Read this article and see for yourself. What would you do?
