Rep. Bob Etheridge, D-Lillington, whose congressional district includes southern Vance County, has created a page on his Web site to provide information on the latest developments concerning Hurricane Katrina and ways that North Carolinians can help with the recovery. “Like all Americans, I offer my deepest condolences to the victims of Hurricane Katrina and their families,” said Etheridge, who serves on the House Homeland Security Committee. “North Carolinians know firsthand the devastation that hurricanes can cause. When our own state was victimized by Hurricanes Floyd, Fran and others, Americans generously helped with the recovery efforts. Many North Carolinians now stand ready to show the same generosity to the victims of Hurricane Katrina.”
