Then the fish vanished and have not returned. That is why it is imperative to set aside dollars today for problems that may arise tomorrow.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJust as important as short-term relief is the strategy for addressing the long-term effects of this disaster,\u201d said Albert Ruesga, president and CEO of the Greater New Orleans Foundation. \u201cReal recovery means having impacted individuals at the table when decisions are being made about long-term solutions to the challenges. Ensuring this happens is the role of philanthropy and others.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><i>Where is the Role of Philanthropy in the RESTORE Act?<\/i> includes contributions by Cocito-Monoc, Mark Davis, Director of the Tulane Institute on Water Resources Law and Policy, and author, John M.
