Day in the Work Life: Katrina relief

When Hurricane Katrina swamped New Orleans, thousands of relief workers poured into the region to help. This encore Day in the Work Life revisits one of those workers on the scene.

After Hurricane Katrina, Compassion Alliance distributed water, ice, food, toys, and medicine to more than 120,000 people in eight days. (Courtesy of Compassion Alliance)
