Enormous just in terms of human disaster, the aftermath of the 2005 hurricanes is proving one of the most important environmental stories in a long while. It is a story with many faces and voices, many facets and dimensions, and a challenge calling for the best journalism going.

SEJ has posted a collection of links to some of the key coverage — to help inform SEJ members, but also to serve as models and starting points for ongoing environmental coverage of a story likely to go on for some time. (Note: Some stories require free registration.)

Let us know of links that you think belong in this collection, or of any volunteer help you may be able to provide. E-mail suggestions to SEJNews.

We've also built a page of primary resources for journalists covering hurricanes and tropical storms, including government, science and university web sites; SEJ TipSheet archives; and more. This is a work in progress. Suggestions welcome; send to above email address.

In addition, to further assist you in your endeavors, we've compiled a list of experts on hurricane-related topics.
