notes: 2010 OIL SPILL Thank you for your interest in helping our coast during this massive oil spill. An aggressive cleanup operation is under way to secure the source of the spill, recover the spilled oil, and protect environmentally sensitive sites. Oil is a toxic substance and dangerous if handled improperly. Only specially trained responders may clean it up or dispose of it. We ask volunteers to avoid any site where the spill has made landfall and keep children and companion animals safely away. The initial response will aim at stopping the leak and containing the spill. It might appear to the public that a response has not been initiated but these sequential steps minimize the risk that areas already cleaned might again be contaminated. Please register at www.volunteerlouisiana.gov to receive updates and information on any volunteer opportunities as they are identified. You may also register with the Gulf Response Involvement Team (GRIT) for some beach mitigation efforts: www.lagulfresponse.org. There are oil spill-related opportunities emerging in the New Orleans region. Please visit the HandsOn New Orleans Oil Spill Response Calendar for a listing of these opportunities: Oil Spill Response Calendar. Depending on your locations and availability, you may also want to reach out to www.volunteermississippi.org, www.servealabama.gov or www.volunteerflorida.org to see what opportunities they may have. HandsOn New Orleans will continue to keep volunteers updated as the situation changes. Working with the Unified Command and our partners in the communities, we can recover our shorelines and communities and maintain the safety and security of our volunteers as well as the general public. Again, thank you for your interest. NOTE: Volunteers must be trained before participating in any direct contact oil spill response. You must be at least 18 years old, able to follow both written and oral directions, and meet both the training and physical requirements for the role you would fill. BP is providing all of this training. Volunteers must be trained to rescue and care for the injured wildlife. Unauthorized individuals can, even with the best of intentions, harm irreparably the affected animals, some species of which are not accustomed to any kind of human interaction. ============= FROM THE WEBSITE 9/2/08 LTel: Hands On New Orleans has temporarily shut down operations and evacuated in preparation for Gustav.

Volunteers are still desperately needed to aid the recovery process, and the Hands On action center in New Orleans will provide a starting point for those eager to make a difference. Hands On New Orleans is located at First Street United Methodist Church, thanks to a partnership with Rev. Lance Eden. We are located in New Orleans Central City district. We have a capacity of up to 75 volunteers per day, but please call ahead so we can make arrangements for your stay. Everything happens here - planning, preparing, communicating, socializing, and most importantly, eating and sleeping. We are located at: Hands On New Orleans 2309 Dryades Street New Orleans, LA 70113 Phone: 504.899.5589 Email: volunteer@handsonneworleans.org
