Seems like there are those that choose to prey on the evacuees, as opposed to the other way around.

CHATTANOOGA, Tennessee (AP) -- A man who sought safety from Hurricane Katrina in Tennessee was gunned down in the street and died, possibly during a robbery of his Red Cross relief money.
Don Maurice Airline, 24, of Metairie, Louisiana, was found on a secluded road with five gunshots to his head. Days before he was killed last week, the Red Cross gave him a debit card worth several hundred dollars.
Investigators found five handgun shell casings with Airline's body, less than a mile from a Red Cross shelter where he had stayed. Police were investigating whether robbery was the motive; no one has been charged.
