I've sent the following to CNN already and am trying to find other news outlets that may be able to help. Any advice where I can send this is much appreciated.

Hi,
Manuel Herrera of Family Underground, one of New Orlean's most important local bands of the 70's, is trapped inside of Touro Infirmary Hospital at 1401 Foucher St in downtown New Orleans where he works as an administrator. He was able to leave a message with another band member Roland Treaudo 3 days ago informing his hospital's electricity generators were working at that time. You can see him in the bottom middle of their group photo here:
Despite not having national recognition like Fats Domino, Manuel Herrera is an accomplished local musician. Last March we started working on releasing their first LP recorded in 1979. My intention is to bring attention to Touro Infirmy in hope that Manuel and his building will get rescued. Please contact me at the number below.
