Google launched two new search features designed specifically for finding information about the hurricane’s aftermath more quickly. “With the ongoing help of the American Red Cross, Microsoft, Yahoo and many other organizations, we’ve indexed a large number of public Katrina databases, including KatrinaSafe.com”

Google Hurricane Katrina

The new Katrina People Search helps people to search across all of these databases at once to find information on friends or family who may have been affected by the hurricane.

We also built a special search index that only returns results from Katrina-related web pages, so you can search on any keyword and know all the results will be relevant.

The main page display two main search buttons : search for people and search the web. While “search for people” try to index a comprehensive list of people affected by Hurricane Katrina in order to make it easier for evacuees, The second search allow to find related information about the hurricane based on information from public service.
