Some good news: Fats Domino, the rock ‘n roll legend, has been found in New Orleans–plucked from the flooded city by a rescue boat. His niece had posted a plea for help on Craigslist. (More blog reaction at Memeorandum.)

Another happy ending.

The search for countless other missing persons, however, continues.

The National Institute for Urban Search and Rescue (NIUSR) has created a new national clearinghouse. Go here.

NowPublic remains one of the central databases.

Another good resource: NOLA.com’s missing persons board.

There is also a missing persons helpline to report lost relatives/loved ones: 225-925-6626.

And Wal-Mart is providing an emergency contact message board for family members trying to get in touch with loved ones. (Hat tip: Kevin Aylward)
