We should donate to Katrina relief as we did to Tsunami reliefs

and document your donation efforts as proof for your good moral character
for citizenship application

Donations and charities are not for proving anything.

Then how do we show we have good moral character, only
by showing lack of bad moral character?

This is not even funny AWB. We should donate/give to charity for its own sake, and not for scoring immigration points.

Trying to make a very big deal of donations to people in need, and trying to score immigration brownies proves lack of moral character if anything. Give discreetly if you must, or keep quiet.

That's correct. The best way to show good moral character s to show lack of any negative remarks on your personality.
BTW, thanks for creating the thread. Every body should make the donation (you can click on the link to redcross in my signature). I have just now contributed $250. I have tried to contribute 3 days back, but the web site was not responding.

The rule of the forum is to post imigration-related topics only.

By the way, it is good enough to donate no matter what.
There are people out there who loot during crisis

Then you should just ask everybody to donate. Do not tie with immigration benefit - as someone said already "immigration brownies".

So, in such a situation, getting medicine, food, water, etc. from a closed store can well be justifyable.
Of course, getting jewelry, etc. is absolutely not ok.

I remember that a 'state of Emenrgency' was declared in N.O.
(Correct me If I am worng).
You know what are the provisions under 'state pf emergency'
and these being used under those provisions and these comes under
'essentials'.
Hence, guess,they were not obliged to 'justify' these 'actions'.?
