[PPRAANet] Katrina Disaster Relief Center

[DESloan at aol.com]

Hi,
For those of you  that were at the club meeting this is the information via 
email as promised. For  others that might be interested. The idea behind this 
Relief Center is to make  it a One Stop Shop for evacuees from the hurricane. 
There are representatives  from most relief agencies from the Pikes Peak area, 
State and FEMA that are set  up to offer assistance. Volunteers are needed to 
do about everything and  anything. Salvation Army is feeding and can use help. 
Volunteers to assist the  evacuees find the various support agencies around 
the building. Red Cross is  looking for assistance in many areas (some require 
training and others don't) At  the entrance which is located at the back of 
the building that was the old city  gas building and is located at 120 Cimino 
and Colorado (this is the first  intersection east of I-25 on Colorado Ave.

There  are applications available to volunteer to the different agencies that 
are  supporting the Relief Center. Some of these agencies will at a later 
time be  sending assistance down south to support the recover and mitigation 
efforts. The  telephone for the Relief Center is 482-9900.
In addition the  County and city are offering classes for CERT (Community 
Emergency Response  Training). This is training and how to be prepared to survive 
the first 72 hours  after a disaster strikes. If you are interested in 
becoming a CERT member,  please contact the Emergency Services Division at (719) 
575-8400, M-F  MST.
