Red Cross isn't taking volunteers for Katrina so you are probably better off contacting medical professional specific relief organizations.
Same thing for anyone else with specialized skills.
I dunno if this helps (Score:2)
But per CNN [cnn.com]:
Mayo said the state is asking for doctors, nurses and emergency medical technicians from neighboring states for their help. Those who want to assist should contact their state's licensing board, which should then get in touch with Mississippi's board for accreditation.
I hope you can find a way. I browsed some relief sites but they all seem to either take donations only or want volunteers for callcenters outside the area.
