A micro radio station for Katrina evacuees in Houston is up and broadcasting. After disputes with FEMA and other government entities that opposed the station, saying it would take up too many resources, the low power FM radio station is broadcasting from a trailer in the parking lot in the Astrodome to evacuees in the Houston Astrodome and to those with in a 2 mile radius. The station will serve as a community service broadcasting the latest information on services, shelters, aid, housing, and jobs. Evacuees are also able to come air their stories and look for missing persons on the airwaves. Liz worked on the project.
