notes: From www.kwtx.com 7/23/08: American Red Cross: Operations Headquarters and warehousing facility is established in San Antonio. Four Emergency Response Vehicles (ERV) are being deployed to Weslaco; 6 ERVs will go to Laredo; 29 ERVs are en-route to San Antonio. One ERV is pre-positioned in Laredo and 6 are already pre-positioned in San Antonio. Six shelter trailers are in position in Laredo for post-hurricane sheltering. Shelter teams are being recruited for post hurricane sheltering. The ARC has recruited and deployed 250 disasters workers to Texas =========================================================================== San Antonio Area Chapter update on Hurricane Dolly Written by : San Antonio Area Chapter 7/23/2008 - The American Red Cross, San Antonio Area Chapter is fully engaged and ready to support Hurricane Dolly operations which is currently affecting the Red Cross Chapter jurisdictions headquartered in Harlingen and Corpus Christi. Our support includes being represented at the City of San Antonio Emergency Operations Center/Alamo Regional Command Center at Brooks City-Base. Red Cross mass care volunteers and emergency response vehicles (ERVs) are being staged in San Antonio and are prepared to deploy to assist in disaster response efforts. We are also making preparations for any after-storm sheltering that might occur locally and keeping close watch on the hurricane to see whether flooding, tornadoes or wind damage becomes an issue. The American Red Cross encourages residents of South Texas affected by Hurricane Dolly to: Monitor media reports. Watch TV, listen to AM/FM or NOAA weather radio and check the Internet for updates. Review or develop a family communication plan so you will know how to contact each other and where to meet. Identify an out-of-area contact person that family members and friends can call if you are separated from one another. Register with the Red Cross Safe and Well Web site. If you are affected by a disaster, this public site provides a way for you to register yourself and communicate your well-being to your family members. You can input information directly or via phone. The site is accessible via www.redcross.org. Update or create your disaster supplies kit. Your kit should have the following items: 3-day supply of water (1 gallon per person, per day), nonperishable food, manual can opener, flashlight, battery-operated or crank radio, extra batteries, first aid kit, prescription and non-prescription medications, cash, and copies of important documents such as bank account numbers, social security card, driver’s license and insurance policies. Prepare your home. Bring inside: bicycles, lawn furniture, trash cans, hanging plants, outdoor decorations or ornaments, or anything else that can be carried by the wind. Close windows and doors, then close hurricane shutters or cover windows with plywood. Stay away from floodwaters. If you come upon a flooded road, turn around and go another way. If you are caught on a flooded road and waters are rising rapidly around you, get out of the car quickly and move to higher ground. The floodwaters may still be rising and the car could be swept away at any moment. Plan your evacuation route. Use local maps and identify alternate evacuation routes from home, work and/or school. Know where you are going and how you plan to get there before you leave home. Evacuate immediately if advised to do so. Follow the direction of local authorities on which routes to take, which evacuation shelters to seek and other important advice. Take your pets with you. If it is not safe for you, it is not safe for them. Red Cross emergency shelters cannot accept pets unless they are service animals. Prepare a list of family, friends, pet-friendly motels and boarding facilities that could shelter your animals. -> The American Red Cross has played an active role in the Hurricane Ike disaster response in San Antonio and our surrounding counties - providing shelter support and serving meals to thousands of evacuees. Here are the stories we've collected from Red Cross volunteers from San Antonio and the rest of the country who are working tirelessly to help all those impacted by Hurricane Ike, families who were able to safely evacuate, the doctor and volunteers who helped deliver a beautiful baby, and more. ------------------------------------- From www.kwtx.com 7/23/08: American Red Cross: Operations Headquarters and warehousing facility is established in San Antonio.
