Gary Morsch. Heart to Heart International. a Kansasbased humanitarian organization that serves the needs of the poor and provides aid to those most affected by natural disasters. has established a forward distribution center in Jefferson Parish. Louisiana. to distribute aid to the refugees of Hurricane Katrina. A team organized by Heart to Heart International traveled to this forward distribution site to deliver aid. determine assignments for possible future teams. and prepare to receive future shipments to deliver to agencies sheltering refugees. I deeply appreciate the work of private relief organizations like Heart to Heart International that play a critical role in the publicprivate response to natural disasters. While private organizations do their part for disaster relief. government at every level needs to work together to plan for inevitable natural disasters and coordinate relief efforts.
