Okay, I've confirmed, in so far as it's possible, that Rene Louviere is alive, at least according to the database I checked. The one phone call I tried today now hits a "Because of the hurricane, the phones aren't working" message, which is still more on top of things than a couple of days ago.

The url I'm looking at is:

I got there via here:
