• FEMA would like to have a daily meal count from all agencies, churches, etc. who are feeding workers or individuals in the flooded areas. If meals are distributed to you from Red Cross, Southern Baptist, or another agency, please let us know that also. Agencies are doing a great job and we would like for all to know the services that you are contributing. You may email or call me. Thanks for the help.

• Keep track of your volunteer hours in case of match opportunity for county EMA through public assistance. Report your volunteer hours to GEMA (and local EMA if you can do a county-by-county breakdown) weekly.
• No need to wait on pulling out drywall if its wet, just make sure damage is documented (addressed by Ken, Dan @ GEMA, & Bob).
