Gulf Coast States' Preparation & Response to Isaac
Florida, Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana offices of emergency services all had preparations in place prior to the storm making landfall so that they could assess the damage and begin the recovery efforts more quickly. Part of these efforts include each Gulf Coast States' participation in the National Donations Management Network (NDMN), a web-based solution for connecting the business community with emergency workers' needs following a disaster.
Aidmatrix and Microsoft Team Highlight Needs After Isaac Makes LandfallAidmatrix has partnered

response efforts, most recently for Hurricane Isaac. Through Microsoft's
